RL2010-11K-122-D1

Temperature Sensors - NTC Thermistors are temperature sensors that utilize the thermistor effect which is the property of certain semiconductor material whose resistance decreases with an increase in temperature. The RL2010-11K-122-D1 NTC thermistor is widely used in temperature sensing and control applications. This article provides an overview of the RL2010-11K-122-D1 application field and working principle.

The RL2010-11K-122-D1 NTC thermistor is widely used in industrial temperature control and sensing applications, such as equipment cooling systems, fan cooling systems, ovens, air conditioners, cooling systems for LED lights, medical equipment, toys, test benches and machines. It is also used in consumer electronics, communications devices, application engineering, and high temperature linear applications.

The RL2010-11K-122-D1 is an example of an NTC thermistor. It is composed of a ceramic body and a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) element. The ceramic body ensures the maximum mechanical stability and excellent heat conduction. The NTC element is the actual temperature sensitive element of an NTC thermistor. The RL2010-11K-122-D1 has a body temperature range of -10°C to +125°C and has a resistance value of 10K ohms at 25°C.

The working principle of the RL2010-11K-122-D1 is based on the fact that the resistance of a NTC thermistor decreases as the temperature increases. The NTC thermistor is connected to a supply voltage through its two resistor leads and a voltage divider is formed. When the temperature of the NTC thermistor changes, the resistance of the thermistor will change accordingly and the voltage across the thermistor will also change. The voltage is then measured by the voltage divider and the temperature of the thermistor can be derived from the measured voltage.

The RL2010-11K-122-D1 can be connected in series to a current source or in parallel to a voltage source. When connected in series the current through the thermistor is constant and this is the most commonly used type for temperature measurement and control. When connected in parallel, the voltage across the thermistor is constant and this is mainly used when the output of the thermistor has to be connected to an analog-to-digital converter which requires a constant voltage source.

The RL2010-11K-122-D1 is a widely used NTC thermistor with a body temperature range of -10°C to +125°C and a resistance of 10K ohms at 25°C. It is mainly used in temperature control and sensing applications. Its working principle is based on the property of certain semiconductor materials whose resistance decreases with an increase in temperature. The RL2010-11K-122-D1 can be connected in series or in parallel to either the current or voltage source.
