Surface temperature sensors

31 October 2012 Test & Measurement

TDK has expanded its NTCGP series of NTC temperature sensors with types featuring lug terminals for the precise measurement of surface temperatures from -40°C to +150°C. With their metal lug terminals, the compact and highly reliable epoxy-dipped thermistors can be screwed directly to circuit boards and mounted components.

The new lug terminal types of the NTCGP series are available in two designs: the standard design with a nominal resistance of 50 kΩ and B coefficient (B25/85) of 3950 K and the linear output type with a nominal resistance of 10 kΩ and B coefficient (B25/85) of 2250 K.

The spread of electric vehicles and solar power is gaining momentum. In order to improve their performance and reliability, precise temperature management of the control circuit boards and electronic components used in these vehicles and systems is becoming even more important.

Thanks to the new NTC ceramic elements with linear output characteristics over a wide temperature range, the expanded NTCGP series is ideally suited for temperature measurement of DC-DC converters in electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles and of DC-AC inverters of solar power systems, as well as a wide range of other applications.
