Murata offers conductive glue mountable thermistor

Murata Electronics has announced that selected parts from its chip NTC thermistor range are now available in versions suitable for conductive glue mounting.

The NCG18 series of conductive glue mountable thermistors feature the same characteristics as the company's NCP18 series.

This means that when migrating to the new type all the relevant circuit parameters can be maintained, saving design time and cost.

Conductive glue is a common method of mounting components in applications that demand reliability at high temperatures, particularly in automotive environments.

It is also used in applications that cannot be subjected to the heat of the solder paste mounting process, such as LCD panels, organic EL and LED displays, and CCD devices, which are particularly sensitive to high temperatures.

There are initially two parts in the NCG18 series, both available in 0603 case size.

The NCG18XH103 has a thermal constant of 3380K and a resistance of 10kohm at 25C, while the NCG18WF104 has a thermal constant of 4200K and a resistance of 100kohm at 25C.

Both dissipate 1.0mW/C and feature operating temperature of -40C to +150C.
