With Alpha Thermistor, quality is assured. Curves and Negative Temperature Coefficient Alpha manufactures nine different materials, each with its own unique and predictable resistance- temperature characteristics. The tables on pages 12 and 13 detail this information. The time constant of a thermistor is directly a affected by the mass of the thermistor and thermal coupling to the environment. 75 seconds in stirred oil and 10 seconds in still air.
Power is expressed in watts.
Very low current is required for a thermistor being used in temperature measurement, control or compensation applications. Beta The Beta value of a thermistor is one way to characterize its resistance temperature relationship. For interchangeable thermistors, optimum stability is achieved when the thermistors are operated at temperatures within the specified interchangeable temperature range. Stability Alpha 's years of experience in thermistor manufacturing, coupled with our stringent process controls, ensures that we produce highly stable thermistors.
