Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a thermistor, belonging to the technical field of electrical components. Background Art

[0002] A thermistor is a sensor resistor whose resistance value changes with the change of temperature. According to different temperature coefficients, it is divided into a positive temperature coefficient thermistor and a negative temperature coefficient thermistor. The resistance value of the positive temperature coefficient thermistor increases with the increase of temperature, and the resistance value of the negative temperature coefficient thermistor decreases with the increase of temperature. They both belong to semiconductor devices. The positive temperature coefficient thermistor will be in an inoperative state for a long time; when the ambient temperature and current are in region c, the heat dissipation power of the thermistor is close to the heating power, so it may or may not operate. When the ambient temperature is the same, the action time of the thermistor decreases sharply with the increase of current; the thermistor has a shorter action time, a smaller holding current and action current when the ambient temperature is relatively high.

[0003] The negative temperature coefficient thermistor can also be used as an electronic circuit element for instrument circuit temperature compensation, cold junction temperature compensation of thermocouples and inrush current suppression at startup, etc. By using the self-heating characteristic of the NTC thermistor, automatic gain control can be realized, and an RC oscillator amplitude stabilization circuit, a delay circuit and a protection circuit can be constituted. When the self-heating temperature is much higher than the ambient temperature, the resistance value is also related to the ambient heat dissipation conditions. Therefore, this characteristic of the thermistor is often used in flow meters, gas analyzers, thermal conductivity analyzers, etc. to make special detection elements. The PTC thermistor is mainly used for overheat protection of electrical equipment, non-contact relays, constant temperature, automatic gain control, motor starting, time delay, automatic degaussing of color TVs, fire alarms and temperature compensation, etc. The product of the utility model is used for inrush current suppression at startup. Existing thermistors are generally circular plug-in products, which have high requirements for the space of the circuit board and have certain potential risks of moisture and humidity prevention. The client cannot use a large-scale automatic chip mounting production process for assembly, which affects the efficiency and product consistency. And the two lead pins of the thermistor will turn yellow and black after high-temperature baking. Summary of the Utility Model

[0023] 7. Since the thermistor of the present utility model adopts a horizontal patch process, the space limitation for the circuit is small, and it can be used in a small space.

[0024] 8. Since the thermistor of the present utility model adopts a plastic-encapsulated horizontal patch process, the using end can adopt an advanced automated patch assembly process, greatly improving production efficiency and saving labor costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
