- With the recent widespread use of portable terminals and mobile personal
computers, the size of electronic equipment has become increasingly
smaller while output continues to grow year after year. Market demands
also continue to grow for using thermistors not only as in equipment
functionality but also for reasons of equipment safety and stability.
Meanwhile, applications are expanding to include overheat detection,
overcurrent protection, temperature compensation, and more.
- The thermistor is essentially a resistor whose resistance varies depending
on the temperature, and includes PTC thermistor and NTC thermistors.
(Basic characteristics of thermistors)
- Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has commercialized both PTC thermistors
("POSISTOR") and NTC thermistors by making full use of our
original ceramic semiconductor, minute processing, and electrode technologies.
- By utilizing the operational mechanisms of each of these types of
thermistors, we are able to provide a variety of products for your selection
based on the specific application you require.
