Temperature Sensors - PTC Thermistors are components that measure temperature and convert the measured value into an electrical signal output for reading. Among them, PRF21BE471QB5RA is a highly stable temperature sensor among temperature sensors. This article will introduce the application field and working principle of this temperature sensor.

PRF21BE471QB5RA is composed of two parts: element and thermistor. The element part of this temperature sensor is composed of a pair of electrodes and a resistor having a positive temperature coefficient (PTC). The thermistor part is composed of alloys such as rare earth element, or some ceramic. When the temperature of PRF21BE471QB5RA rises, the resistance of the PTC element increases with the temperature increase, resulting in an increase of the voltage variation across the terminals. It is through this process that the temperature can be detected by the measuring of the existing voltage.

The application field of PRF21BE471QB5RA is vast. It is employed in a variety of industries such as automotive, medical and industrial. In automotive industry, it is used to measure temperature and control the engine cooling system or the cooling of electronics components. In the medical industry it is used to regulate and monitor the temperature of the operating room, incubator, and other medical equipment. Industries such as aerospace, consumer electronics, data communication, IT etc, all use temperature sensors for over-heating protection, cooling control and other industrial automation.

In addition to the application field described above, PRF21BE471QB5RA can also be used for temperature compensation of resistors, thermistors and other temperature-sensitive components. It is also employed in air-conditioners and refrigerators, whose temperature need to be monitored in real-time. In addition, it is also applied in temperature testing of high and low temperature environments, and laboratory use as well.

The working principle of PRF21BE471QB5RA is relatively simple. Its resistance increases with temperature increases, and the voltage across its terminals will rise as well. This voltage level can be read through a ADC or other device, to obtain information about the temperature. The working current of PRF21BE471QB5RA is from 0 to 0.2mA, and its working voltage range is 0-5V. In addition, its resistance accuracy is less than ±0.5%. These performance properties make it ideal for a variety of applications due to its high accuracy and long lasting stability.

To conclude, PRF21BE471QB5RA is an application specific temperature sensor component which is widely applied in various industrial applications. Its working principle is fairly simple, and its accuracy and stability make it a preferred choice for temperature related applications.
