Temperature Sensors - NTC Thermistors

NC20MC0102JBE, or generally known as NTC thermistors, are temperature sensing devices known for their small size, wide working temperature range and rapid temperature response. It is a form of temperature sensing device that uses a thermistor, a type of thermoresistor, to measure temperature. It can measure temperature accurately in a range of -40 to 150′C. The design and construction of NTC thermistors also contribute to their accurate temperature measurement capabilities.

Application Field

NC20MC0102JBE is used in a wide variety of applications, from automotive, industrial, aerospace, medical, consumer and many more. Common uses include temperature compensation, thermal protection, thermal management, medical treatments, and more. Heat detection sensors and temperature alert systems are also powered by NTC thermistor. Its wide operating temperature range, fast temperature response, and reasonable size makes them an ideal temperature sensor for any type of application.

Working Principle

NTC thermistors are composed of a thermally sensitive resistor, usually made of sintered ceramic material. This type of thermistor exhibits a decrease in the electrical resistance as the temperature increases. As the temperature increases, the electrons move more freely, reducing the overall resistance of the thermistor. The decrease in resistance is inversely proportional to the temperature.

The thermistor’s resistance is further affected by its environment. Changes in the environmental parameters such as humidity, pressure, and other conditions can alter the thermistor’s resistance. This can be compensated for such that the thermistor can measure the exact temperature correctly.

The NTC thermistor functions as a variable resistor that is sensitive to temperature. Its resistance decreases when heated, which creates a voltage drop across the terminals. This voltage can be measured and converted into temperature. This principle of operation is known as the Seebeck effect.

Conclusion

NC20MC0102JBE is a very reliable temperature sensing device and stands out due to its small size, wide working temperature range, and fast temperature response. The combination of the circuit and the thermistor make the device very accurate and reliable as a temperature sensing device. Furthermore, its wide application field makes it a great choice for many different temperature sensing applications.
