PTCSL03T111DB1E

Temperature Sensors - PTC Thermistors

PTCSL03T111DB1E is an NTC thermistor manufactured by Sensor-KTS. It is a type of temperature sensor used to measure temperature in environments which range from -65 to 250 degrees Celsius. It is made up of a ceramic element which has an embedded positive temperature coefficient (PTC) material. It works by changing its resistance output when it senses an increase or decrease in temperature.

Application Field

This device is commonly used in the following fields:

• Industrial applications: Manufacturing, production and assembly lines and continuous processes
• Automotive applications: Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems
• Consumer electronics: Home appliances, audio/video equipment, and white goods
• Medical equipment: Pressure and temperature regulation of medical devices

Working Principle

The PTCSL03T111DB1E thermistor works on the principle of changing resistance as the temperature changes. The ceramic element contains a PTC material which is sensitive to temperature changes. This material has a positive temperature coefficient (PTC), meaning when the temperature increases the resistance of the thermistor increases and vice versa with a decrease in temperature. The amount of increase or decrease is measurable and this can be used to determine the temperature of the environment.

The resistance of the PTCSL03T111DB1E thermistor is measured with an ohmmeter or other multimeter type device. This allows the user to determine the temperature of an environment. This device is cost effective and is a reliable option for measuring temperature.

Conclusion

The PTCSL03T111DB1E thermistor is a type of temperature sensor that is commonly used for measuring temperatures in a variety of industries and applications. It works on the principle of changing resistance when the temperature changes. This device is cost effective and reliable and is easy to use with most common multimeter type devices.
