This is a Negative Temperature Coefficient Resistor Whose
resistance changes with ambient temperature changes.
Thermistor comprises 2or 4 kinds of metal oxides of iron,
nickel,cobalt, manganese and copper, being shaped and
Sintered at high temperature(1200 to 1500 )

Critical Technical Parameters of NTC Thermistor
Rt---Resistance Value at Zero-power
It's a resistance which is got at a fixed temperature on a
basis of a testing power which causes resistance to Vary in a
range which can be ignored in relation to the total testing eror.
R
25
R25---Resistance Value at Rated Zero-power
The design resistance of the thermistor usually refers to the
resistance value got at Zero-power at 25 , which is usually
indicated on the thermistor.
B Value
B value stands for the thermal exponent at a negative
temperature coefficient. lt's defined as a ratio of the balance
between the natural logarithms of resistance values at zero-
power to the balance between the reciprocals of the two
temperatures.The formula is as below:
