NTCALUG85A103GA - Vishay

NTCALUG85A103GA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended soldering temperature and time for NTCALUG85A103GA?
  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 avoid damaging the thermistor.
• How do I handle and store NTCALUG85A103GA 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, and do not stack thermistors on top of each other.
• What is the thermal response time of the NTCALUG85A103GA?
  The thermal response time of the NTCALUG85A103GA is approximately 10-15 seconds in still air. This means it takes around 10-15 seconds for the thermistor to respond to a change in temperature.
• Can I use the NTCALUG85A103GA in high-humidity or high-temperature applications?
  While the NTCALUG85A103GA is designed to operate in a wide temperature range (-40°C to 150°C), it's not recommended for high-humidity applications. The thermistor's glass coating can be affected by high humidity, leading to reduced accuracy and reliability. For high-humidity applications, consider using a thermistor with a specialized coating or encapsulation.
• How do I calibrate the NTCALUG85A103GA for accurate temperature measurement?
  Calibration involves creating a lookup table or using a calibration curve to map the thermistor's resistance to temperature. You can use a thermistor calibration software or create your own calibration routine using a temperature reference point and a multimeter to measure the thermistor's resistance.
