Future Electronics Promotes EPCOS PTC Thermistors from TDK

Pointe Claire, Canada, February 13, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, recently announced immediate availability of EPCOS PTC thermistors from TDK, offering superior solutions for circuit protection.

PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistors are able to offer more reliable protection than NTC thermistors in certain cases with particularly demanding temperature and power conditions. EPCOS PTC ICLs (Inrush Current Limiters) offer key benefits when used as ICL components for active inrush current limitation in certain applications.

The EPCOS SMD PTC Superior Series is ideal for over temperature sensing. The series is used to monitor potential overheating conditions and can be used as a current regulator, thereby offering a thermal shutdown as the applied current load decreases at high temperature.

Possible applications for these temperature limit sensors are power supplies such as AC/DC and DC/DC converters, battery chargers and packs or lamp ballasts. The SMD PTC thermistors can be used in the fan controllers of notebooks in order to avoid critical temperatures. In automotive electronics, they are suitable for applications such as the temperature monitoring of LED-based lighting systems.
