NTC thermistors placed in series with the supply, high in resistance when cold and low once warm, so the switch-on surge into a capacitive load is limited and little is dissipated in normal running. For power supplies, chargers and drives.
Thermistors whose resistance falls as temperature rises, in a steep and repeatable curve. Available in several formats and resistance characteristics for temperature measurement, compensation and over-temperature protection.
Get help specifying or customising the right product for your application.
Working alongside your design team from the earliest stage, we help you select the right part for the application and, where a standard part will not do, develop customised components with our manufacturing partners such as lead length, termination and package size.
Thermistors are held in two families: NTC types for temperature sensing and compensation, then inrush current limiting types that control the switch-on surge. Both work from the same principle, that resistance falls as the device heats.
