PTC Thermistors
PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistors are made of an
oxide semiconductor ceramic with barium titanate as the main
component. The switching temperature is determined by raw mate-
rial composition. Above this temperature, the resistance rises rap-
idly. This property of PTC thermistors make them suitable for a
wide range of applications, including constant temperature heat-
ers, current limiting elements, and temperature sensors.
FEATURES
• Switching temperatures are available in the range from +30 to
+330°C, accommodating a wide variety of applications.

• Application of different shapes and resistances results in a wide
range of rated voltages. Voltages may be AC or DC in the range
of 12V to 240V.
• These thermistor elements enable contact-free circuit designs –
no bimetals, relays, etc.
• Because the elements are made of ceramic material, it is possi-
ble to form units of various shapes and dimensions through the
application of different molding methods.
• Various housing shapes can be produced to meet specific appli-
cation requirements.

FOR TEMPERATURE SENSING
The rapidly increasing resistance characteristics makes use of
these thermistors a convenient method for detecting specific tem-
peratures. Such applications also benefit from good sensitivity.
• Within any given size and shape, there is a wide range of
available resistances at normal temperature. In the following
formulas,
ρ
(specific resistivity at normal temperature) can have
values in the range of 10
Ω
• m to 50k
Ω
• m with slight variations
according to switching temperature. Resistance is calculated as

FOR CURRENT LIMITING
• Current attenuation characteristics can be custom-tailored by
controlling a combination of parameters: switching temperature,
element volume, resistance value, and load impedance.
• The operating characteristics for overcurrent protection can be
based on current increase, ambient temperature increase, or a
combination of both.
