NTC Type AB6
Thermometrics
Thermobeads and
GCs (Chip-in-Glass)
Description
NTC Type AB6 thermistor assemblies consist of small
GC (chip-in-glass) or Thermobeads that are welded to
insulated extension leads. The Thermobeads or GC
(chip-in-glass) are hermetically sealed in glass and
have fine diameter 0.0007 in to 0.004 in (0.01778 mm
to 0.1016 mm) platinum alloy leads. The platinum leads
are cut short and welded to insulated extension leads
and the joints are covered in one of several insulation
types, depending upon the application or environment.
The assembly is then ready for insertion into
hypodermic needles, catheters or other small housings
that require extended leads. Any of the Thermobeads
or GC (chip-in-glass) listed in Table I may be used in
a NTC Type AB6 assembly. Please consult the data
shown for specific electrical or mechanical properties
for the thermistor selected.
Applications
Thermobead and GC (chip-in-glass) assemblies are
used where the small thermistor must be further
connected to longer leads, for insertion into deep
wells and cavities, or threading into long tubes. They
may also be used, as is, for applications that require
fast response measure-ments in confined spaces.
With these assemblies, the fast response of the small
thermistor is available without sacrificing ease of
insertion. The added leads and insulation allow the
minute assemblies to be handled in further assembly
operations, such as insertion into catheter lumens.
The same electrical characteristics that apply to the
selected thermistor (resistance value, resistance ratio,
stability) are unaltered in the assembly.

Special Coding
The assembly types shown represent the most
standard selections of the many combinations
of thermistors and materials that Thermometrics
manufactures. These selected types are suitable for
many applications; however, there are always special
requirements that need to be satisfied for some
applications. A partial listing of alternate materials and
options is given on the next page to assist the designer
for applications in which the standard units shown are
not suitable. If assistance is required in the selection
of materials or design of the assembly, please contact
our applications engineering department and detail the
exact requirements or specifications desired.
Alternate Materials Selection
The alternate materials listed are available for NTC
Type AB6 thermistor assembly orders. Other materials
may be available to the designer or user upon special
order. Please allow additional time for the completion
of special assembly orders.
Type A Insulations
A web of insulating material is put over the weld joints
for strain relief. Available insulating materials with
maximum temperature ratings;
• Vinyl: 140°F (60°C)
• Polyurethane: 221°F (105°C)
• Silicone rubber: 500°F (260°C)
• Epoxies: from 221°F to 500°F (105°C to 260°C),
specify maximum temperature required.
Type B Insulations
A polyimide sleeve is epoxied over the weld joints for
improved strain relief and electrical insulation. The
bead may be covered for maximum strain relief or
exposed for faster response. Epoxies are generally
used to fill the polyimide sleeve and have temperature
ratings from 221°F to 500°F (105°C to 260°C).

be used for the conformal dip coatings depending
upon the application or environment.

A thermoplastic tubing is heat sealed over the bead or
probe thermistor. A small amount of insulating material
is applied over the weld joints for electrical isolation.
