NXF thermistor qualifies for automotive use

Hot spots may not always be on the PCB or motherboard, so Thermo-String's long leads of up to 150mm allow the head of the thermistor to be situated as close to the problem area as possible, even in narrow or small locations.

The NXF range of Thermo-String thermistors includes, in its head, Murata's NCP15-series NTC (Negative Temperature Co-efficient) chip thermistor.

Thirty-three different resistance values are available, providing maximum design flexibility.

The NXF series of Thermo-String thermistors operates in the temperature range -40 to +150C (NXFS series) and is RoHS, ELV and AEC-Q200 compliant and halogen free.

These certifications are required for Thermo-String's use in the automotive industry.

Thermo-String thermistors also provide flexibility benefits to battery cell, PC, power tool, power supply, measurement equipment, heating system and sensor-product makers.

Murata's Thermo-String range also features the PXF series of PTC (Positive Temperature Co-efficient) thermistors.

These feature the same long leads, with 25 to 150mm lengths available, and are suitable for commercial grade electronics.

When these PTC thermistors are connected in a simple series circuit, one circuit can monitor many different hot spots in a design.

The PXF series operates over the range -40 to +125C.
