Temperature Sensors - PTC Thermistors

PTC Thermistors or Positive Temperature Coefficient Thermistors, are semi-conductor devices that change resistance with temperature. TFPT1206L1501JZ is a specific model of PTC Thermistor. PTC Thermistors have a wide range of applications due to its operating flexibility, stable performance and robust design. It is often used in medical, electronics, automotive, and home appliance sectors.

Working Principle

When the current passes through the PTC thermistor, it heat up, and its resistance increases. When the current passes through, its resistance will increase by several thousand times. Its resistance growth seems to follow a curve or curve-like pattern. This is called the self-curative resistance-temperature curve.

The resistance-temperature curve provides a measure of the thermistor\'s sensitivity to temperature. The more steep the curve is, the more sensitive the thermistor will be to temperature changes. High sensitivity helps to improve responsiveness and accuracy of temperature measurement.

Application Field

TFPT1206L1501JZ PTC thermistor is suitable for a wide range of applications. In medical field, it can be used to detect the body temperature accurately, providing valuable and reliable data for medical purpose. It is also used in automotive industry to monitor and control car engine temperature. In electronics, it is often used as a temperature control device to protect electronic components from overheating and damage. Lastly, it is often used in home appliances to help monitor and control the temperature, ensuring optimal operation and energy efficiency.
