Inrush Current Limiting NTC Thermistor is a temperature sensitive resistor made of special semiconductor ceramic material with Negative Temperature Coefficient characteristics. They have a higher resistance value at room temperature. When they are energized, the temperature of the resistor body increases due to self-heating, and the resistance value decreases. Using this feature, they are used as Inrush current limiting/protection components for electrical and electronic equipment. These devices can easily and effectively limit abnormal currents, including surge currents when energized. Inrush Current Limiting NTC Thermistors used as current protection devices are also called power thermistors.

SETsafe | SETfuse Quality Policy

Provide Industry-Leading Products.

Usage   

1. Thermistor must be operated within the specified ambient temperature.

2. Do not clean the thermistor with strong polar solvent such as ketone, esters, benzene, halogenated hydrocarbon, to avoid damaging the

encapsulating layer.

1. Please do not apply severe vibration, shock or pressure to thermistor, to avoid surface resin or element cracking.

2. Please fix lead wires when bending or cutting. the distance between the bending point and the sealing of thermistor shall be greater than 2 mm.

Replacement

1. If thermistor is visually damaged, please replace it.

2. Thermistor is a non-repairable product. for safety sake, please use equivalent thermistor for replacement

Storage

1. Storage thermistor only in original packaging. do not open the package before storage.

2. Storage temperature range: -25 to 45 °C.

3. Relative humidity : ≤75% RH.

4. Keep away from corrosive gas and direct sunlight.

5. Period of storage: ≤1 Year.

Installation

Do not take violent action such as knocking when assembling to avoid mechanical damage.
