Temperature Sensors - NTC Thermistors

NTC thermistors are temperature sensors that employ the effects of temperature-dependent resistance to measure temperature. They are made from a special ceramic material that changes its resistance depending on the temperature at which it is exposed to and are used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and consumer applications.

The MF52F683F3950 is an NTC thermistor typically used in temperature measurement applications. It is constructed from a mixture of manganese, nickel, and cobalt, which provides this thermistor with a high sensitivity of 0.0005ohms/°C in a wide temperature range from -40°C up to +125°C. This makes the MF52F683F3950 an ideal choice for applications that require accurate temperature measurement and wide temperature ranges.

Working Principle

NTC thermistors operate on a basic principle –they operate on the concept that temperature changes resistance. When an NTC thermistor is exposed to any temperature, its resistance will vary to some extent due to the semiconductor material used in its construction. The variation in resistance will generate a small voltage across the thermistor, which can be used to measure the temperature accurately.

The MF52F683F3950 is an NTC thermistor with a resistance of 10Ω in a room temperature. The resistance of the MF52F683F3950 thermistor decreases with increase in temperature up to about 65°C, after which the resistance will increase rapidly. That makes it an ideal device for applications that require accurate temperature measurements, particularly in temperature ranges between 0°C to 65°C.

Application Field

The MF52F683F3950 is designed to be used in a wide range of temperature measurement applications. It is commonly used in industrial and consumer products such as temperature-controlled HVAC systems, refrigerators, ovens, and other consumer appliances. It is also used in medical applications such as measuring body temperature or temperature-sensitive medical products, and in industrial applications such as testing and measuring systems. Additionally, it is used in telecommunications equipment, industrial controllers, and data-logging systems.

The MF52F683F3950 is easy to use and cost-effective. It has a relatively low self-heating effect and stable operating characteristic, and can be easily installed and used in a variety of different applications. Its small size and excellent temperature stability make it an ideal choice for a variety of temperature measurement applications.
