RB103E0J

Temperature Sensors - NTC Thermistors

RB103E0J is a type of NTC thermistor, an electronic component that changes its electrical resistance when it is exposed to a changing temperature. This component is available in various packages such as DO-35, TO-39, and TO-92, so it can be easily used in different applications. It is also RoHS compliant, which means it meets the requirements set by the European Union to reduce the use of hazardous materials in electrical and electronic devices.

As an NTC thermistor, the RB103E0J\'s working principle revolves around the fact that it is a temperature-dependent resistor. When exposed to a varying temperature, it will produce a response that correlates to the given change. Its resistance goes down when it is exposed to higher temperatures, and its resistance goes up when exposed to lower temperatures. It is also constructed with a ceramic core that is covered with positive temperature coefficient (PTC) material that induces a high negative coefficient of resistance (NTC). This combination is what makes it ideal for use in temperature-sensing applications.

When considering the RB103E0J\'s application field, it can be implemented as either a single-element or multipurpose component. Single-element applications include temperature monitoring, temperature controlling, temperature measuring, and thermal protection. In addition, the RB103E0J is used in motor protection, refrigerators, and flow control systems. It has also been widely used in a variety of other applications, such as high voltage power supplies, electrochemical batteries, inrush current limiting, and air conditioning systems.

Finally, the RB103E0J can be specified in either a two-wire configuration or a four-wire configuration. The two-wire configuration, which is the simpler of the two, is based on a two-wire connection and does not require a current-measuring circuit. This makes it ideal for applications that require a simple, straightforward measurement process. The four-wire configuration, on the other hand, requires the addition of a third wire for a current measurement and a low-resistance shunt, making it more suitable for applications that require accuracy and stability.

In conclusion, the RB103E0J is an NTC thermistor that is versatile and easy to use in various types of temperature sensing applications. It has a temperature-dependent electrical resistance, which is constructed using a ceramic core and PTC material, and is available in both two-wire and four-wire configurations. Lastly, it is RoHS compliant, making it an ideal choice for those looking to reduce the use of hazardous materials in their applications.
