TDK-EPC is presenting three new sample kits of ceramic PTC thermistors from EPCOS. The components of the sample kit “SMD PTC Thermistors for Limit Temperature Sensing/Superior Series” are designed for use as temperature sensors. The kit contains samples for sizes 0402, 0603 and 0805 across the temperature range between 75 and 145 °C in steps of 10 K. All thermistors are certified to AEC-Q200 and are suitable for reflow and wave soldering. The sample kit contains components for surge current protection applications. They are used as self-resetting fuses and as such limit currents to uncritical values in the event of overload or short circuit. New additions include:
- Ceramic Transient Voltage Suppressors (CTVS) for ESD and High Transient Voltage Protection in Car Entertainment and Infotainment Applications
- Inrush Current Limiters, Self-Protecting PTC Resistors
- SAW Filters and Resonators for Automotive RDK and TPMS
- SMD PTC Thermistors for Limit Temperature Sensing Superior Series
- SMD PTC Thermistors for Overcurrent Protection
