Temperature Sensors - PTC Thermistors

PTC thermistors are special types of resistors with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC). This means that when the environment temperature increases, so too will its resistance or opposite when temperature falls. PTC thermistors have been widely used as temperature sensors in consumer electronic and power electronic applications. They have the advantage of being small in size and relatively low cost.

TFPT1206L5600JV Application Field

The TFPT1206L5600JV is a surface mounted NTC thermistor. It has a wide temperature range of -40 to 150 °C, and is used in applications such as temperature sensing, over temperature protection, temperature switch and temperature compensation. Because of its low profile (1206 size) and robust design, the TFPT1206L5600JV is suitable for surface mounted applications.

• Small electronic devices
• Home appliances
• Mobile device chargers
• Power distribution electronics
• Automotive electronics
• Lighting control electronics

TFPT1206L5600JV Working Principle

The TFPT1206L5600JV is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, which means its resistance decreases as the temperature increases. When the ambient temperature rises, the resistance of the NTC thermistor falls, and the current, flowing through the thermistor, increases. This change in current can then be read and used to detect the temperature.

The TFPT1206L5600JV thermistor is a low-power device, so it is suitable for use in battery operated or energy saving applications. This thermistor has a low temperature coefficient range, which helps ensure accurate temperatures readings at different temperatures. The nominal resistance of the thermistor at 25 ℃ is 5600 Ω.

The TFPT1206L5600JV thermistor has withstood the tests of all applicable standards, including RoHS. It has also been designed to meet stringent mechanical requirements, ensuring reliable operations.

Conclusion

The TFPT1206L5600JV is a surface mounted NTC thermistor with a wide temperature range and low temperature coefficient. It is suitable for a variety of applications, such as temperature sensing, over temperature protection, temperature switch and temperature compensation. The thermistor has also been designed to meet stringent mechanical requirements, ensuring reliable operation.
