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 Thermistors and NTC Thermistor.
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has commercialized both PTC Thermistors ("POSISTOR®") and NTC Thermistor 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.
