10K PTC Thermistor (Positive Temperature Coefficient)
The 10K PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor is a type of thermal resistor that increases in resistance as the temperature rises. It is commonly used in applications where temperature control or protection is needed. PTC thermistors are designed to ensure safety in electrical systems by regulating current flow in response to temperature changes. They are widely used in transformers, motors, and other systems sensitive to overheating.
Key Features:
- Temperature-Responsive Resistance: The PTC thermistor's resistance increases with rising temperatures, making it ideal for temperature monitoring and control applications.
- Overheat Protection: Commonly placed in systems like transformers and motors to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.
- Level Control: Can be used for liquid level control in water tanks by sensing temperature changes.
- Safe Motor Operation: When connected in series with a motor, it ensures safe startup by initially drawing low current, allowing the motor to start safely.
- Wide Application: Suitable for applications where precise temperature monitoring and thermal regulation are critical.
Applications:
- Overheat protection in transformers and motors
- Temperature control in electrical systems
- Liquid level sensing in water reservoirs
- Temperature-critical areas such as HVAC systems and appliances
Package Content:
- 1 x 10K PTC Thermistor 5mm
