General information

Temperature sensors and thermistors (PTC, NTC, STS, PT1000, et cetera)

Temperature sensors of the YAM / EF1 type series are the PTC thermistor or the motor PTC, which are characterized by a sudden increase in resistance at a def. response temperature.

Temperature sensors of the NTC type series describe a negative characteristic curve for an increasing temperature. They are often used as a favourable basis for the temperature control of a device.

Sensors of the STS type series are characterized by a temperature curve which is very similar to the (already partially terminated) KTY sensors, and offer an alternative solution.

The wide field of PT sensors is characterized by a very precise temperature characteristic curve across a wide temperature range. These sensors are designed customer-specific with hardly any exceptions.
