NTC Thermistors General technical information

2022-07-29

As defined by IEC 60539, NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistors are thermally sensitive semiconductor resistors which show a decrease in resistance as temperature increases.With2%/K to6%/K, the negative temperature coefficients of resistance are about ten times greater than those of metals and about five times greater than those of silicon temperature sensors.
Changes in the resistance of the NTC thermistor can be brought about either externally by a change in ambient temperature or internally by self-heating resulting from a current flowing through the device. All practical applications are based on this behavior.
NTC thermistors are made of polycrystal line mixed oxide ceramics. The conduction mechanisms in this material are quite complex, i.e. either extrinsic or intrinsic conduction may occur. In many cases NTC thermistors have a spinell structure and then show valence conduction effects.
