Mini Lug NTC Thermistors offer response time of less than 4 s.
Press Release Summary:
With small lug mounting space of 0.1 in.², NTCALUG03 Series provides accurate measurements over temperature range of -40 to +125°C. Units feature 5.5 mm ring tongue that can be mounted with M2 screws or American studs. Small dimensions, when combined with silver-plated nickel conductor, result in low thermal gradient of less than 5% of ΔT. Thermistors feature R25 of 10 kW, 12 kW, or 47 kW, with tolerances of ±2 % and ±3 %.

Vishay Releases New Series of Mini Lug NTC Thermistors
With Industry's Smallest Lug Mounting Space of 65mm²/ 0.1 in²
NTCALUG03 Series Features Shortest Response Time of < 4 s for Accurate Surface Temperature Measurement
MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced the release of a new series of Mini Lug negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors with the industry's smallest mounting space of 65 mm² / 0.1 in², and shortest response time of < 4 s to provide fast and accurate measurements over a wide temperature range from -40 °C to + 125 °C.
In addition to their small diameter, the NTCALUG03 thermistors feature a tiny 5.5 mm ring tongue that can be mounted with M2 screws or American studs #1 to 2. These small dimensions, when combined with the devices' silver plated nickel conductor, result in a low thermal gradient of < 5% of ÄT for accurate surface temperature measurement in space-limited applications. The devices are optimized for housing, heat-sink, power electronics, and pipe and conductor thermal management in test and measurement equipment, appliances, and industrial equipment.
The thermistors released today offer designers a choice of electrical resistance values at + 25 °C (R25) to meet the self heating, voltage output, or noise suppression needs of their application. The NTCALUG03 devices feature R25 of 10 kW, 12 kW, or 47 kW, with tolerances of ±2 % and ±3 %. The thermistors are available with an optional 1.5 mm pitch ZHR-2 connector, and offer customizable lead lengths and screw sizes, like M3 / American stud #3 to 4. The NTCALUG03 series is compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC.
Samples and production quantities of the new NTC thermistors are available now, with lead times of twelve weeks for larger orders.
