MALVERN, PA--(Marketwire - March 10, 2011) - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: [ VSH ]) today announced the release of a new series of Mini Lug negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors with the industry's smallest mounting space of 65 sq. mm / 0.1 sq. in and shortest response time of less than 4 s to provide fast and accurate measurements over a wide temperature range from - 40 °C to + 125 °C.

In addition to their small diameter, the NTCALUG03 thermistors feature a tiny 5.5 mm ring tongue that can be mounted with M2 screws or American studs #1 to 2. These small dimensions, when combined with the devices' silver-plated nickel conductor, result in a low thermal gradient of less than 5 % of dT for accurate surface-temperature measurement in space-limited applications. The devices are optimized for housing, heat-sink, power electronics, and pipe and conductor thermal management in test and measurement equipment, appliances, and industrial equipment.

The thermistors released today offer designers a choice of electrical resistance values at + 25 °C (R25) to meet the self-heating, voltage output, or noise suppression needs of their applications. The NTCALUG03 devices feature R₂₅ of 10, 12, or 47 kilohms, with tolerances of 2 % and 3 %. The thermistors are available with an optional 1.5 mm pitch ZHR-2 connector, and they offer customizable lead lengths and screw sizes, such as M3 / American stud #3 to 4. The NTCALUG03 series is compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC.

Samples and production quantities of the new NTC thermistors are available now, with lead times of 12 weeks for larger orders. Follow Vishay thermistors at [ http://twitter.com/vishayindust ].
