How to Use Temperature Protection Devices : Chip NTC Thermistors

NTC thermistors are heat-sensitive resistor elements of which resistance values rapidly decrease with rise of temperature. With this property, they are used as temperature protection devices for protecting circuits from overheating as well as temperature sensors. TDK offers various sizes of both TDK brand and EPCOS brand SMD NTC thermistors by capitalizing on our accumulated material technologies and a multilayer processing technology. This article describes temperature protection device applications for temperature detection and temperature compensation.
