The History of NTC Thermistors

Time : May 07 2016Source :analogtechnologies Author : Analog Click :

NTC thermistor refers to thermistors with negative temperature coefficient. When the temperature rises, the resistance of NTC thermistors will decrease, and when the temperature falls, the resistance will increase.

The development of NTC thermistor has been through a long period of time. In 1834, scientists found that silver sulfide has negative temperature coefficient property for the first time. Then in 1930, cuprous oxide and cupric oxide are found by scientists to have negative temperature coefficient property, which has been applied in temperature compensation network of aeronautical instruments. After that, the research on NTC thermistors achieves major development due to the continuous development of transistor technology. In 1960, NTC thermistors are developed.

ATI provides various types of NTC thermistors, including glass encapsulated NTC thermistor, and NTC thermistor assembly with a ring lug for easy mounting. The thermsitors all come with a compact size.

NTC thermistor can work with our TEC controller, TEC module and heat sink in order to build a highly stable and accurate temperature measurement and control system.
