YGM1 C517

YGM1 C517 is a kind of PTC thermistor (positive temperature coefficient thermistor) that belongs to the temperature sensors domain. It is used for temperature detection, measurement, control and compensation in various fields.

The YGM1 C517 thermistors are designed with a blend of various materials. The patented structure not only can meet the technical requirements of high temperature and high precision temperature measurement and control in various industries, but also ensures that it performs reliably in its application. Its temperature range is from -50℃ up to +250℃, and its accuracy can reach up to ±1℃ or even ±0.5℃, which is suitable for high precision applications in automotive, industrial and other fields.

In terms of working principle, the YGM1 C517 thermistor functions by exploiting the negative temperature coefficient of semiconductor materials, which basically means that the electrical resistance of the material increases with the increased temperature. When the temperature rises, the electrical resistance of the thermistor increases proportionally. The resistance change of the thermistor refers to that, when the temperature changes, the thermistor performs a non-linear change in its resistance. The resistance change of the thermistor would be measured using an external circuit. It is unique for a PTC thermistor that it exhibits two regions of different temperature coefficients of resistance when the temperature is changing from low to high which is designated as low-level and high-level regions. The measured resistance and the temperature are related by a set of equations.

The PTC thermistors are widely used in temperature control application, especially in the fields of automotive, home appliance, industrial, and science research. YGM1 C517 is particularly suitable for applications such as temperature measurement and compensation, temperature limit control, secondary temperature control, motor thermal protection, etc. The thermistors has a compact size, and could work in small spaces.

InConclusion, the YGM1 C517 thermistor belongs to the temperature sensors - PTC thermistor domain, with excellent performance. It is used widely for temperature detection, measurement, control and compensation in automotive, industrial and other applications.
