SM104R1K

NTC thermistors, or Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors, are temperature sensors consisting of a chip or small bead-like disc that changes resistance with changes in temperature. The SM104R1K is one such NTC thermistor developed by TDK Corporation. This thermistor is miniature and highly accurate, and it is used to measure temperatures ranging from -55°C to +200°C (-67 to +392°F).

The SM104R1K is categorized by TDK as a high-precision thermistor. It is available in standard resistance values, from 5.6Ω to 183KΩ, and can be used in situations where accuracy and low temperature coefficients of resistance (TCR) are necessary. It features low-resistance and low-temperature coefficients of resistance (TCR) between -0.75 to +0.75%/K. This allows it to be used for very precise temperature sensing, enabling it to quickly detect changes in ambient temperature.

The SM104R1K is primarily used in the electronics industry to monitor and/or regulate the temperature of circuit boards. It is used to detect sudden temperature changes in electric components, to prevent overheating of the board, or to shut down a system in the event of an overheat. It can also be used in industrial settings to measure the temperature of industrial processes, such as in food processing, to ensure that temperatures remain within safe parameters.

The SM104R1K also has applications in the medical field. It can be used to measure body temperature, room temperature, and the temperature of liquids. It is especially useful for measuring the temperature within a patient’s body, as it can quickly detect any changes in temperature and help doctors accurately diagnose the patient’s condition. It is also used in laboratory settings to measure the accurate temperature of liquids and other substances.

The SM104R1K thermistor works on the principle of temperature-dependent resistance. As the temperature of the thermistor increases, its resistance decreases. This resistance change is used to calculate the temperature of the thermistor, and can be used to detect changes in ambient temperature. The SM104R1K is also very sensitive to sudden temperature changes, and can quickly detect changes in temperature.

The SM104R1K provides excellent accuracy and reliability across a wide range of temperatures. Its low-resistance and low-TCR characteristics make it an ideal choice for applications that require precise temperature sensing. It is especially useful for regulating the temperature of electronics components and for measuring patient body temperatures. The SM104R1K is also used in industrial settings to monitor and regulate the temperature of industrial processes and in laboratory settings to measure the temperature of liquids and other substances.
