Manufacturer: ['vishay', 'vishay-bc-components']
# Introduction to the NTCLE100E3109JB0 Product Series
## 1. Overview
The NTCLE100E3109JB0 product series belongs to the Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors category. NTC thermistors are temperature - sensitive resistors whose resistance decreases as the temperature increases. This particular series is designed to offer high - precision temperature sensing and control capabilities, making it suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries.
## 2. Key Features
### 2.1 High Precision
The NTCLE100E3109JB0 series provides highly accurate temperature measurements. With a tight tolerance in resistance values, it can precisely detect small changes in temperature. This precision is crucial in applications where even minor temperature variations can have a significant impact, such as in medical devices, automotive engine management systems, and high - end consumer electronics.
### 2.2 Wide Temperature Range
These thermistors can operate effectively over a broad temperature range. They can withstand both extremely low and high temperatures, making them versatile for different environments. Whether it's in a cold storage facility or a high - temperature industrial process, the NTCLE100E3109JB0 series can provide reliable temperature sensing.
### 2.3 Fast Response Time
The series is engineered to have a fast response time to temperature changes. When there is a sudden shift in temperature, the thermistor can quickly adjust its resistance value, allowing for real - time temperature monitoring and control. This feature is essential in applications where rapid temperature changes need to be detected and managed promptly, like in heating, ventilation, and air - conditioning (HVAC) systems.
### 2.4 Compact Size
The NTCLE100E3109JB0 thermistors are designed with a compact form factor. Their small size makes them easy to integrate into various electronic circuits and devices, even in space - constrained environments. This is beneficial for applications such as wearable devices, where minimizing the size of components is a key design consideration.
### 2.5 High Stability
Over time and under different operating conditions, these thermistors exhibit high stability in their electrical characteristics. They are less prone to drift in resistance values, ensuring consistent and reliable performance throughout their lifespan. This stability is vital for long - term temperature monitoring applications, such as in environmental monitoring stations.
## 3. Technical Specifications
### 3.1 Resistance at 25°C (R₂₅)
The nominal resistance value at 25°C for the NTCLE100E3109JB0 series is carefully calibrated. This value serves as a reference point for temperature calculations and is an important parameter for circuit design. The specific R₂₅ value for this series is optimized to provide accurate temperature - resistance relationships within the intended operating temperature range.
### 3.2 B - Value
The B - value is a characteristic parameter of NTC thermistors that describes the relationship between resistance and temperature. The NTCLE100E3109JB0 series has a well - defined B - value, which allows for precise calculation of the resistance at different temperatures using the Steinhart - Hart equation or other temperature - resistance conversion formulas.
### 3.3 Tolerance
The series offers a relatively low tolerance in resistance values. This means that the actual resistance of each thermistor in the series will be very close to the nominal value, reducing the need for extensive calibration in most applications. The tight tolerance ensures consistent performance across multiple thermistors, which is important in systems that use multiple temperature sensors.
### 3.4 Dissipation Constant
The dissipation constant indicates how much power the thermistor can dissipate without causing a significant self - heating effect. The NTCLE100E3109
