Radial-leaded NTC thermistors

6 March 2013 Passive Components

Utilising Murata’s highly accurate NCP15 series chip thermistor within an epoxy resin, the company’s new NXRT series of radial-leaded NTC thermistors is available with the nominal resistance values of 2 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 33 kΩ, 47 kΩ or 100 kΩ at 25°C.

Nominal resistance accuracy is typically in the range of ±1% to ±5%. Measurement sensitivity is believed to be the best available within the industry: at +50°C the temperature detection sensitivity deviation is within ±0,6°C, and is within ±1,4°C at 100°C.

The low-cost NXRT series is ideal for accurate temperature detection in a wide range of consumer electronics and domestic electrical appliances. The thermistor is particularly suited to measuring the temperature of a power supply circuit or battery.

The thermistor package measures 4,0 x 2,0 x 40 mm in total, including the 0,4 mm diameter radial leads. The NXRT series is suitable for use in most environments and has an operating temperature range from –40°C to +125°C.
