Description
The positive temperature coefficient of resistance is very large: approximately 0.7%/°C, making these units ideal for use in temperature compensating and sensing applications. Applications include amplifiers, power supplies, transducers, telemetry, computers, magnetic amplifiers, thermometry, meteorology, temperature regulation and over-temperature protection.

The tables above will give the resistance value ofthe thermistor for the listed temperatures (RT). To determine the resistance value of the thermistor at temperature (RT):
Find the temperature in the vertical column, "Temp. °C". Next find the resistance range of the thermistor at 25°C, (R25°C), in the appropriate vertical column. The intersection of the two columns will give the "coefficient of resistance", (Rc), of the thermistor at the desired temperature. Compute as follows:
RT = R25°C x Rc
Resistance tolerances for temperatures other than 25°C are shown in "Table C". For instance, the resistance tolerance at +50°C for a Silicon PTC Thermistor with a tolerance of ± 5% @ 25°C would be ± 7%. |
