Description
Ametherm SG160 RTI Thermistor / Inrush Current Limiter 2.5 Ohms 15% 15A Leaded Disc
Applications for NTC thermistors:
Very low temperature thermometers: They are used as resistance thermometers in very low-temperature measurements.
Digital thermostats: These thermistors are also commonly used in modern digital thermostats.
Battery pack monitors: NTC thermistors are also used to monitor the temperature of battery packs while charging. As modern batteries such as Li-ion batteries are very sensitive to overcharging, the temperature provides a very good indication of the charging state, and when to terminate the charge cycle.
In-rush protection devices: NTC thermistors can be used as in-rush-current limiting devices in power supply circuits. They present a higher resistance initially which prevents large currents from flowing at turn-on, and then heat up and become much lower resistance to allow higher current flow during normal operation. These thermistors are usually much larger than measuring type thermistors, and are purpose designed for this application.
