MALVERN, Pa. — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new AEC-Q200 qualified, glass protected NTC thermistor in the widely used 0.5 mm by 0.5 mm by 1 mm 0402 case size. The Vishay BCcomponents NTCS0402E3104*XT combines a high beta (B25/85) value of 4311 K with an electrical resistance value at +25 °C (R25) of 100 kΩ.
Fully glass coated and protected, the thermistor released today offer tolerances down to ± 1 % for both its R25 and B25/85 values for precise temperature sensing, protection, and compensation over a wide temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. The device offers ESD withstand of > 25 kV in accordance with the Human Body Model (HBM).
With its industry-standard size, the NTCS0402E3104*XT provides a drop-in replacement for competing solutions in automotive LED modules, electronic control units, sensor clusters, battery packs, and camera, radar, and lidar modules; energy meters; office equipment; and industrial smoke and fire detectors.
Featuring an SMD construction with NiSn terminations, the NTC thermistor is suitable for wave or reflow soldering. RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, the device is delivered on punched paper tape on reels in packages of 10 000 units. For fast design-in, a SPICE model is available.
