Vishay TFPTL thermistors

Vishay has introduced a series of radial-leaded, positive temperature coefficient thermistors.

Devices in the TFPTL series feature nickel thin film elements with positive temperature coefficients of +4110 ppm/K, fast response time of <2 s and high stability over a wide temperature range from - 55 to + 150°C.

Available in two sizes with lead pitches of 2.5 and 5.0 mm, the thermistors offer designers a wide variety of standard resistance values at +25°C (R25) from 100 Ω to 5 kΩ and tolerances of ±1% and ±5%. Non-standard resistance values and tolerances are also available.

With their long-term stability (typical <0.1% drift) and high-temperature performance, they can be used for temperature measurement, sensing, compensation and control in industrial and consumer applications. They can also replace silicon-based temperature sensors.
