NTCS0402E3472GMT

Temperature Sensors - NTC Thermistors are used to measure the temperature of a system or environment. The NTCS0402E3472GMT is an example of an thermistor which can be used to accurately measure the temperature of an environment or system. It is a small, inexpensive, and highly reliable thermistor which offers excellent accuracy and stability over a wide temperature range.

The NTCS0402E3472GMT is a four-terminal thermistor with three terminals that are connected to the source (VREF1) and two terminal connected to the load (VOUT and GND). The thermistor works by sensing the temperature change by using the resistance changes that occur as the temperature of the system or environment changes.

The NTCS0402E3472GMT operates in two different types of modes. The active mode is where the thermistor is connected between the source and load such that the source can measure the resistance of the thermistor. The passive mode is when the thermistor is connected directly to the load so that the source is used to measure the voltage across the thermistor.

In order to measure the resistance of the thermistor, the thermistor is placed in series with a resistor and the voltage across both the thermistor and resistor are measured. The resistance of the thermistor can then be calculated using the formula: R = V / I, where V is the voltage across the thermistor and I is the current flowing through the resistor.

The NTCS0402E3472GMT is capable of measuring temperatures as low as -40°C and as high as +150°C. It is extremely accurate in relation to the temperature of the environment, typically within +/-2°C of the actual measured temperature. It is also very small with a footprint of just 4mm x 2mm and is rated to 20V with a maximum power dissipation of 200mW.

The NTCS0402E3472GMT thermistor is classed as a negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC) and it is very common for temperature measurements due to its low cost and small size. It also requires very little power to operate and can be used in a variety of applications such as industrial, automotive, medical, aerospace and consumer applications which require precise and accurate temperature measurements.

The NTCS0402E3472GMT thermistor is an ideal solution for measuring temperature in a range of applications. It offers an excellent accuracy and stability over a wide temperature range and is extremely small and inexpensive. It is also a very reliable thermistor which is commonly used in a variety of applications due to its reliable performance.
