At Focusens, we know that thermistors are more than just components; they are the heart of temperature sensing applications that keep our world functioning smoothly. Among the two main types, NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) and PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistors, understanding how to identify them is key to selecting the perfect fit for your needs. Let’s dive into their unique characteristics and the methods to distinguish between them. What Are Thermistors? Thermistors are temperaturesensitive resistors that change their resistance in response to temperature fluctuations. This remarkable property makes them ideal for a variety of applications, from motors humming to life in factories to the everyday appliances in our homes. Exploring NTC and PTC Thermistors NTC thermistors are fascinating in their behavior: as temperatures rise, their resistance drops. This makes them perfect for applications like precise temperature sensing, inrush current limiting, and overcurrent protection. In contrast, PTC thermistors work their magic differently. As temperatures increase, their resistance rises. They are often the unsung heroes in motor protection, selfregulating heaters, and temperature control systems, stepping in to safeguard equipment from damage. Key Differences Between NTC and PTC Thermistors Warm the part and watch the direction the reading moves. Falling is NTC; flat then climbing steeply is PTC. Curve shapes are illustrative, not datasheet values for a specific part. 1. Resistance Behavior: NTC Thermistors: Resistance decreases as temperature increases—ideal for accurate temperature measurements. PTC Thermistors: Resistance increases with temperature, serving as protectors against overheating. 2. Applications: NTC Thermistors: Found in devices needing precise temperature readings, like digital thermometers and temperature controllers. PTC Thermistors: Essential for applications such as motor protection circuits and resettable fuses. 3. Temperature Range: NTC Thermistors: Typically function over a broad range of temperatures. PTC Thermistors: Operate at specific temperatures, providing targeted protection. How to Identify NTC and PTC Thermistors Identifying whether you have an NTC or PTC thermistor can be simple and straightforward. Here are some effective techniques: 1. Visual Inspection Start by taking a close look at the thermistor. Many have part numbers printed on them, often indicating whether they are NTC or PTC. Checking the specifications listed on the component or packaging can also offer quick insights. 2. Testing Resistance with a Multimeter A multimeter is your best friend in this identification process. Here’s how to use it: Step 1: Ensure the device is powered off—safety first! Step 2: If necessary, disconnect the thermistor from the circuit. Step 3: Set the multimeter to measure resistance (ohms). Step 4: Measure the resistance at room temperature (around 20°C to 25°C). Step 5: Gently heat the thermistor using...

In order to promote the company's product service quality and management level to further improve, promote the comprehensive management system of high quality operation, recently, the company accepted the quality, occupational health and safety management system certification supervision and audit and passed smoothly. After the audit, the audit group of experts agreed that the company's business performance steadily growth, product quality and customer satisfaction continue to improve, the suitability of the management system, adequacy and effectiveness in line with the certification requirements. In view of the problems found in the audit process, the audit team put forward improvement suggestions from strengthening the product quality process control level, and the two sides carried out full communication. The certification audit passed smoothly, marking the healthy and sustainable development of the company in the standard system construction and operation standards, but also means that the company's competitiveness, innovation, control force, influence to a new level, will boost the company's high-quality development line stable and far.

          In order to ensure the smooth operation of the company's ISO9001 2016 quality system, on March 9,2023, the company held 2023 ISO 9001 2016 quality system internal audit mobilization meeting. Company General manager Liu and internal audit team all members attended the meeting.          At the meeting, the quality department reported the company's ISO9001 2016 quality system annual internal audit implementation certification work plan, around the system personnel allocation, quality management and personnel ability to improve the company's quality management system work proposed specific requirements.          General Manager Liu requirements, one is to understand the company's management operation and product market status quo, deeply understand the urgency of ISO9001 2016 quality management system certification. Second, the heads of all departments should attach great importance to personnel training. The third is to incorporate the operation of the quality management system into the performance assessment. The internal auditor should be familiar with the business process of the department, have enough sense of responsibility, dare to find problems, put forward problems, eliminate problems, and jointly promote the company's quality management system to be more perfect and efficient operation.
