Vishay / BC Components Commercial-Grade NTC SMD 0201 Chip Thermistors

Introduction

The Vishay / BC Components Commercial-Grade NTC SMD 0201 Chip Thermistors are designed to provide reliable and precise temperature measurements across a broad temperature range. With their compact size and compatibility with automated manufacturing processes, these thermistors are an excellent choice for various applications in different industries.

Part Description

These NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) chip thermistors operate effectively within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. They feature multiple resistance values from 10KΩ to 100KΩ at 25°C, with a tolerance of ±1%. The thermistors exhibit a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) ranging from -6.5%/K at -40°C to -2%/K at 125°C, ensuring high sensitivity and accuracy. They are UL1434 recognized, fully RoHS compliant, and designed for high-volume automated manufacturing processes, including wave and reflow soldering. The thermistors come in a small 0201 (M0603) surface mount case size, making them suitable for space-constrained applications.
