PTC Thermistors
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Thermistors are typically resistors with a positive temperature coefficient, meaning that the resistance increases with increasing temperatures. They are mainly classified into 2 groups based on their structure, materials used, and manufacturing process. The first group consists of silicon-based semiconducting materials, while the second group is the switching-type PTC thermistor. How Do PTC Thermistors Work?PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) therm...

Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Thermistors are typically resistors with a positive temperature coefficient, meaning that the resistance increases with increasing temperatures. They are mainly classified into 2 groups based on their structure, materials used, and manufacturing process. The first group consists of silicon-based semiconducting materials, while the second group is the switching-type PTC thermistor. 

How Do PTC Thermistors Work?

PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistors are integral components used in various electrical and electronic systems to provide reliable overcurrent and overtemperature protection. These compact yet powerful devices function by increasing resistance when a specific temperature threshold is exceeded, controlling the current flow in the circuit. PTC thermistors are energy-efficient and durable solutions used for circuit protection. They have a sturdy design and offer constant performance in various high-stakes applications.
