Tight-tolerance NTC thermistors

12 May 2010 Passive Components

Murata has announced ultra-tight tolerance versions of its chip NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor series, the NCP series.

±0,5% tolerance versions are now available with consumer, industrial and automotive temperature ranges.

These parts are aimed at applications where the most accurate temperature sensing is required, such as air conditioning systems, power supply cooling/thermal management systems and automotive temperature sensing applications. Ultra-tight tolerance thermistors are particularly important in situations where the thermistors are to be used near the maximum operating temperature, since low accuracy could mean the maximum operating temperature of the system is exceeded.

The NCP series offers small package sizes down to 0201 and feature constant temperature coefficient for all package sizes. Simulation software which calculates the output characteristics of Murata’s NCP series of thermistors is available online, to help designers find the right part without any trial and error.
