Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced the launch of a new AEC-Q200 qualified, glass-protected NTC thermistor in the compact 0402 case size measuring 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm x 1 mm. The Vishay BCcomponents NTCS0402E3104*XT delivers a high beta (B25/85) value of 4311 K and an electrical resistance of 100 kΩ at +25 °C (R25), offering exceptional precision and reliability in temperature measurement applications.
Designed with full glass coating for superior protection, the thermistor ensures high stability and long-term performance across demanding environments. It provides tight tolerances down to ±1% for both R25 and B25/85 values, ensuring accurate temperature sensing, protection, and compensation over a wide operating range from -55 °C to +150 °C. In addition, the device achieves an impressive electrostatic discharge (ESD) withstand capability exceeding 25 kV, tested per the Human Body Model (HBM) standard.
With its industry-standard size, the NTCS0402E3104*XT provides a drop-in replacement for competing solutions in automotive LED modules, electronic control units, sensor clusters, battery packs, and camera, radar, and lidar modules; energy meters; office equipment; and industrial smoke and fire detectors.
Featuring an SMD construction with NiSn terminations, the NTC thermistor is suitable for wave or reflow soldering. RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, the device is delivered on punched paper tape on reels in packages of 10 000 units. For fast design-in, a SPICE model is available.
Samples and production quantities of the NTCS0402E3104*XT are available now, with lead times of 13 weeks.
Vishay manufactures one of the world’s largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components that are essential to innovative designs in the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical markets.
