NTCG164BF473FT1SX - TDK

NTCG164BF473FT1SX Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended soldering temperature and time for this thermistor?
  The recommended soldering temperature is 260°C (500°F) for 10 seconds or less. Exceeding this temperature or time may damage the thermistor.
• Can I use this thermistor in a high-humidity environment?
  Yes, the NTCG164BF473FT1SX is designed to operate in humid environments, but it's still recommended to follow proper sealing and encapsulation methods to prevent moisture ingress.
• What is the self-heating effect of this thermistor, and how does it affect accuracy?
  The self-heating effect of the NTCG164BF473FT1SX is typically around 1-2°C/mW. This means that the thermistor's temperature reading may be affected by its own power consumption. To minimize this effect, use a low current excitation (e.g., 1-10 μA) and ensure good thermal coupling to the target temperature.
• Can I use this thermistor in a high-vibration or high-shock environment?
  Yes, the NTCG164BF473FT1SX is designed to withstand moderate vibration and shock. However, it's essential to follow proper mounting and fixation methods to ensure the thermistor remains securely attached to the target surface.
• What is the recommended wire size and material for connecting to this thermistor?
  Use a wire with a minimum diameter of 0.3 mm (AWG 20) and a material with a high temperature rating (e.g., Teflon or Kapton insulation). This will ensure reliable connections and minimize thermal resistance.
