Automotive grade and glass protected NTC thermistors in 0603 and 0805 case sizes

Vishay Intertechnology has extended its NTCS0603E3.....T and NTCS0805E3.....T series of Automotive Grade, glass protected NTC thermistors in the 0603 and 0805 case sizes with new electrical resistance values at +25C (R25). The AEC-Q200 qualified devices are now offered with lower R25 values of 1kOhm and 1.5kOhm, in addition to a new 5kOhm value optimised for the protection of IGBT and power MOSFET modules in EV and HEV vehicles.

Fully glass coated and protected, the enhanced thermistors provide tolerances down to ±1% for their R25 and beta (B25/85) values for precise temperature sensing, protection, and compensation over a broad temperature range from -40C to +150C. Smaller than MELF resistors, while providing easier mounting and greater resistance to bending, the series will be employed in automotive buck/boost converters, battery packs and LED modules; EV charging infrastructure; inverters for windmills and solar panels; and office equipment.

Providing an SMD construction with NiSn terminations, the NTC thermistors are ideal for wave or reflow soldering. The devices are RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
