TFPTL Radial Leaded Thin Film PTC Thermistors

Vishay/Dale TFPTL Series Radial-Leaded PTC Nickel Thin Film Linear Thermistors feature radial-leaded, positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors with nickel thin-film elements and two tinned copper clad steel wire leads. TFPTL Series Radial-Leaded PTC Nickel Thin Film Linear Thermistors offer positive temperature coefficients of +4110ppm/K, a fast response time of less than 2s, and high stability over a wide temperature range from -55ºC to + 150ºC. The series consists of a wide variety of standard resistance values at + 25ºC (R25) from 100Ω to 5kΩ, and tolerances of 1% and 5%. The devices are available in two sizes with lead pitches of 2.5mm and 5.0mm, compliant to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU in accordance to WEEE 2002/96/EC, and epoxy-coated per UL 94 V-0. With their excellent long-term stability (typically less than 0.1% drift) and high-temperature performance, TFPTL series devices can be used for temperature measurement, sensing, compensation, and control in industrial and consumer applications. Also, TFPTL thermistors can replace silicon-based temperature sensors. Vishay/Dale TFPTL Series Radial-Leaded PTC Nickel Thin Film Linear Thermistors are typically used in heating/cooling systems, motor drives, fan controls, power supplies, and consumer goods.
