NTCALUG02A103FA - Vishay

NTCALUG02A103FA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended soldering temperature and time for NTCALUG02A103FA?
  The recommended soldering temperature is 260°C (500°F) with a maximum soldering time of 10 seconds. It's essential to follow the recommended soldering profile to prevent damage to the thermistor.
• How do I handle and store NTCALUG02A103FA thermistors to prevent damage?
  Handle the thermistors by the body, avoiding touching the leads or glass portion. Store them in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid bending or flexing the leads excessively, as this can cause mechanical stress and lead to premature failure.
• Can I use the NTCALUG02A103FA in high-vibration or high-shock applications?
  While the NTCALUG02A103FA is a robust thermistor, it's not designed for high-vibration or high-shock applications. If your application involves extreme mechanical stress, consider using a thermistor with a more rugged design or additional mechanical protection.
• How accurate is the NTCALUG02A103FA thermistor, and what is its tolerance?
  The NTCALUG02A103FA has a tolerance of ±1% at 25°C (77°F). The accuracy of the thermistor depends on the specific application and the calibration method used. In general, the thermistor's accuracy is within ±0.5°C (±0.9°F) over the operating temperature range.
• Is the NTCALUG02A103FA thermistor suitable for high-temperature applications?
  The NTCALUG02A103FA is rated for operation up to 150°C (302°F). While it can withstand short-term excursions up to 180°C (356°F), prolonged exposure to high temperatures can affect its accuracy and long-term reliability. If your application requires higher temperature ranges, consider using a thermistor with a higher temperature rating.
