‘Thermistors’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release TDA launches ceramic PTC thermistors from TDA Elektronic Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "TDA Elektronic Technology has launched the twin SMD package PTC TSF4SS20RF ceramic PTC thermistors, designed to offer protection in over-current applications.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release ATC Semitec offers circuit protection devices from ATC Semitec: "ATC Semitec offers a range of protection devices for lighting circuit protection applications, including thermistors and limiters.".
In May 2010, we covered the news from National Instruments - take a look at Data-acquisition modules measure strain gauges which says: "National Instruments has announced data-acquisition (DAQ) modules for measuring strain gauges, bridge-based transducers, thermocouples and high-voltage analogue inputs. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Murata Electronics, Murata offers conductive glue mountable thermistor, as well as NTC thermistors have ultra-tight tolerances from Murata Electronics, and Highland Technology releases V420 simulator from Highland Technology.
