PRF15BG102RB6RC belongs to temperature sensors - PTC thermistors category. It is a surface-mount chip thermistor used as temperature sensing element to detect the temperature changes. As a temperature detecting component, its working principle is simple and has wide applications.

PTC thermistors, also called positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors, are special thermistors whose resistance increases as its temperature rises. They are based on metal-oxide semiconductors. The semiconductor material is made up of ceramic molecules with oxygen and metal atoms arranged in sequential layers. This structure gives it its PTC characteristic that when a certain temperature range is exceeded, it will increase its resistance sharply.

The PRF15BG102RB6RC, due to its PTC properties, is widely used in temperature sensing applications. Its working principle is relatively simple. The surface mounted chip thermistor changes its resistance in order to resist the environment temperature. When the environment temperature is beyond the rated resistance, the thermistor shows its tremendous PTC effect, that is, its big resistance change within small temperature fluctuation.

The thermistor component is widely used in electronic circuit protections, temperature controllers, temperature measurement, heating control and other temperature monitoring applications. Especially in overheating and short circuit protection of electronic appliances, its use is very common. Consequently, physical faults and damage from the consumers can be prevented, since it safeguards the adequate safety levels for users.

The PRF15BG102RB6RC can be used in self-regulation heating devices like soldering irons, glass tanks, electric iron plates, etc. Self-regulation heating refers to equipment which regulates its heating ability by themselves when the environment temperature is up to the rated temperature. The PRF15BG102RB6RC can be used in these applications. Its resistance will increase as the environment temperature rises, so the heating element can be switched off to stop heating and prolong the life-span of the device. This process is also known as thermal cut-off switch. Additionally, it can be used in other applications such as household appliance temperature control, air conditioners, refrigerator s, washing machines, as well as in some industrial equipment.

In conclusion, the PRF15BG102RB6RC, a temperature sensor belonging to the PTC thermistors family, has a wide range of practical applications in temperature sensing. Its working principle is quite simple: it detects the environment temperature by changing its resistance. It is mainly used in self-regulation heating devices and other temperature monitoring applications.
