NTCG163EH101HTDS

Temperature sensors are found in many different applications, specifically in industrial, scientific and consumer applications. NTC thermistors are a temperature sensing device that has a sensing element made of a semiconductor material known as a thermistor. The NTCG163EH101HTDS is a specific thermistor type designed for use in a wide variety of applications.

The NTCG163EH101HTDS thermistor features a metal oxide element enclosed in a refractory case that is highly sensitive to temperature change, making it an ideal sensing device for temperature variations and control. It is designed to detect changes in temperature ranging from -55 to +105 °C with accuracy of ±1°C and a response time of as fast as 0.1 seconds. The NTCG163EH101HTDS is designed to be low cost and long lasting, making it an ideal choice for cost-sensitive applications.

The working principle of the NTCG163EH101HTDS is based on the electrical property of thermistors known as \'temperature coefficient of resistance\', or \'TCR\' for short. The temperature coefficient of resistance defines how the resistance of a thermistor changes when its temperature is changed. A temperature coefficient of resistance is expressed as the value \'a\' (alpha). The more positive the value of \'a\' is, the higher the resistance of the thermistor will be with rising temperature. The more negative the value of \'a\' is, the lower the resistance of the thermistor will be with rising temperature.

The NTCG163EH101HTDS thermistor features an \'alpha\' value of -2.478, meaning that decreasing temperature will cause it to increase in resistance. This change in resistance produces a secondary voltage output that can be used to measure and monitor temperatures. This means the NTCG163EH101HTDS can be used to measure both absolute temperatures, as well as temperature changes over time.

The NTCG163EH101HTDS thermistor can be used in a wide variety of applications, including automotive temperature sensors, HVAC systems, home appliance temperature sensing, medical equipment, industrial process control, and environmental monitoring. Its low cost, high accuracy, and fast response make it an ideal sensing device for many temperature sensing applications.
