NTC thermistors, also known as Negative Temperature Coefficient thermistors, are highly valued electronic components in the industry. They exhibit a unique characteristic of having a negative temperature coefficient indicating that their electrical resistance decreases as the temperature rises. This property makes them particularly useful in temperature sensing and control applications within electronic circuits.
The advantages of NTC thermistors as electronic components are numerous. Firstly, they offer high sensitivity to temperature changes, allowing for precise and accurate measurements. Their fast response time enables real-time monitoring and control of temperature variations. NTC thermistors are compact, making them suitable for integration into small electronic devices or spaces with limited room. The compactness also contributes to their versatility, as NTC thermistors can easily be integrated into various electronic systems.
Another advantage of NTC thermistors is their cost-effectiveness. They are relatively inexpensive compared to other temperature-sensing technologies, making them popular for many applications. Furthermore, NTC thermistors exhibit good long-term stability, ensuring reliable and consistent temperature measurements over an extended period. Below are a few types of NTC thermistors that are used in electronic industries:

Power NTC thermistors are specifically designed to handle high currents and are commonly used for inrush current limiting in power supplies. When switched on, an initial surge of current can cause damage to the device’s electronic components. Power NTC thermistors have a low resistance at room temperature, allowing a high current to flow through. As the current flows through the thermistor, it heats up, causing an increase in resistance and limiting the current flow. This characteristic helps protect the electronic components from excessive current and prevents damage. Additionally, Power NTC thermistors offer a compact and space-efficient solution, allowing for easy integration into power supply designs. Furthermore, power NTC thermistors are cost-effective compared to alternative approaches like mechanical relays or large capacitors. Their efficiency in current limiting reduces the risk of electronic component damage, increasing the overall reliability and lifespan of the electronic system.
