‘Industry's only’ conductive glue mountable thermistor
Selected parts from Murata's chip NTC thermistor range are now available in versions suitable for conductive glue mounting. According to Murata, the NCG18 series of conductive glue mountable thermistors is the industry's first.
The parts feature the same characteristics as the company's NCP18 series, meaning that when migrating to the new type, the relevant circuit parameters can be maintained.
Conductive glue is a common method of mounting components in applications that demand reliability at high temperatures, particularly in automotive environments. It's 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 10kO at 25°C, while the NCG18WF104 has a thermal constant of 4200K and a resistance of 100kO at 25°C. Both dissipate 1.0mW/°C and feature operating temperature of -40 to 150°C.
