TDK-EPC, a group company of the
TDK Corporation, is presenting
three new sample kits of ceramic
PTC thermistors from EPCOS. The
components of the sample kit "SMD PTC
Thermistors for Limit Temperature
Sensing/Superior Series" are designed
for use as temperature sensors, for
instance in LED lamps, power supplies
and notebooks. The kit contains samples
for sizes 0402, 0603 and 0805 across
the temperature range between 75 and
145°C in steps of 10K. All thermistors
are certified to AEC-Q200 and are
suitable for reflow and wave soldering.
The sample kit "SMD PTC Thermistors
for Overcurrent Protection" contains
components for surge current protection
applications. They are used as selfresetting
fuses and as such limit
currents to uncritical values in the event
of overload or short circuit. These
thermistors are available in sizes 0603,
1210, 3225 and 4032.
The components in the sample kit
"PTC Thermistors for Inrush Current
Limiters" are suitable as inrush
current limiters in AC-DC inverters,
frequency converters, air-conditioning
systems, pumps and all other
equipment that exposes the power line
to high inrush currents.
