E-202 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended wire size for connecting to the E-202 thermistor?
  The recommended wire size is 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm (AWG 20 to AWG 24) to ensure reliable connections and minimize thermal resistance.
• Can the E-202 thermistor be used in high-humidity environments?
  Yes, the E-202 thermistor is suitable for use in high-humidity environments, but it's recommended to apply a conformal coating or potting compound to protect it from moisture and ensure reliable operation.
• What is the maximum power rating for the E-202 thermistor?
  The maximum power rating for the E-202 thermistor is 10 mW, and it's recommended to keep the power dissipation below 5 mW to ensure accurate temperature measurement and prevent self-heating effects.
• Can the E-202 thermistor be used for high-temperature applications above 150°C?
  No, the E-202 thermistor is not recommended for use above 150°C, as it may experience degradation or damage. For high-temperature applications, consider using a thermistor with a higher temperature rating, such as the SEMITEC 103AT series.
• How do I ensure accurate temperature measurement with the E-202 thermistor?
  To ensure accurate temperature measurement, it's essential to follow proper installation and wiring practices, use a stable and low-noise power supply, and calibrate the thermistor using a precision temperature reference point.
