Ametherm thermistors are known for their reliability, accuracy, and versatility, making them a popular choice for temperature sensing and control solutions across different industries and applications. Ametherm thermistors are used for temperature sensing and control in various applications. Thermistors are temperature-sensitive resistors that exhibit a change in resistance with changes in temperature. Ametherm is a company that specializes in manufacturing these thermistors.
Products
-
NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) Thermistors: Ametherm primarily produces NTC thermistors, which means their resistance decreases as the temperature increases. This characteristic makes them suitable for temperature sensing applications.
- PTC Thermistors: PTC stands for “Positive Temperature Coefficient”. PTC thermistors are resistors with a positive temperature coefficient, which means that the resistance increases with increasing temperature. Ametherm manufactures switching type PTC thermistor. The switching type PTC thermistor has a highly nonlinear resistance-temperature curve. When the switching type PTC thermistor is heated, the resistance starts to decrease at first, until a certain critical temperature is reached. As the temperature is further increased above that critical value, the resistance increases dramatically. This type of PTC thermistors is widely used in PTC heaters, sensors etc. Polymer PTC thermistors, made of a special plastic, are part of this second group and are often used as resettable fuses.
