Frequently Asked Questions
- What types of thermistors does Cantherm manufacture?
- Cantherm manufactures NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) and PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistors, including pearl-shaped precision thermistors, glass shell thermistors, chip thermistors, surge current limiters, and thermistor probes.
- What is the difference between NTC and PTC thermistors?
- NTC thermistors decrease in resistance as temperature increases, making them ideal for temperature measurement. PTC thermistors increase in resistance sharply above a certain temperature, making them suitable for overcurrent protection and temperature limiting applications.
- What applications are Cantherm thermistor probes used for?
- Cantherm thermistor probes are designed for HVAC systems and process control applications. They feature high-quality NTC or PTC thermistors encased in brass, aluminum, or stainless steel housings for durability and reliability.
- Does Cantherm offer surge current limiting thermistors?
- Yes, Cantherm's MF72 series NTC thermistors are specifically designed to limit current surges. They connect in series with the power source and their resistance decreases rapidly once the circuit is energized, providing cost-effective surge protection.
