PRF15BE103RB6RC

Temperature Sensors - PTC Thermistors are variables that exhibit a positive temperature coefficient. In other words, as temperature increases, the resistance also increases in a linear fashion. The PRF15BE103RB6RC is a NTC Thermistor with an operating temperature range of -50°C to 125°C and a fairly small b-value coefficient of 3450 ± 1%. This makes them suitable for use in a wide range of applications.

The most common application for a PTC Thermistor is temperature sensing. These devices are often used in consumer electronics products such as TVs to detect the heat generated inside the device and shut it down if it gets too hot. They are also commonly used in HVAC systems to detect the temperature of the surrounding air, and to monitor the ambient air temperature in a room or building.

PTC Thermistors can also be used as a current limiter. By connecting the thermistor in series with a load, the thermistor will increase in resistance as the temperature increases and the current will be limited. This can help protect other components from the effects of an overload or short circuit, making them a valuable component of any power supply design.

In addition, PTC Thermistors can also be used for surface temperature measurement and control. These devices have a low thermal mass and can quickly respond to changes in temperature. This makes them ideal for applications such as die temperature measurement or surface temperature control in an oven.

The working principle of a PTC Thermistor is based on the fact that the resistance of a semiconductor element increases when exposed to a temperature gradient. In the case of a PTC Thermistor, the resistance increases with an increase in temperature above the Curie point. This change in resistance can be measured with a voltmeter, allowing the temperature to be accurately monitored.

In conclusion, the PRF15BE103RB6RC is an NTC Thermistor with an operating temperature range of -50°C to 125°C and a b-value coefficient of
