PTC Thermistors (POSISTOR)

Basic information related to PTC thermistors is introduced.

Introduces the basic operating principle and typical applications of PTC thermistors.

We explain here in detail the temperature characteristics (R-T characteristics) of PTC thermistors.

We explain here the maximum voltage / maximum current, withstand voltage, and current-voltage characteristics.

We explain here the hold current and trip current of thermistors.

We explain here in detail the current-time characteristics of PTC thermistors.

The software 'SimSurfing' simulates the characteristics of Murata products.
