Vishay Intertechnology announces that its popular NTCALUG family of NTC lug thermistors is now available in a 100 % lead (Pb)-free construction, making them the industry’s first such devices to offer full RoHS compliance with no exemptions.
Product Benefits:
- Manufactured with a 100 % lead (Pb)-free ceramic die
- NTCALUG family thermistors contribute to a cleaner environment by eliminating all hazardous substances that could potentially cause issues during recycling and disposal
- When RoHS exemption 7c-I expires —which allows for lead (Pb) in glass —designers utilizing the components will already be in full compliance
- Variety of devices available:
- Standard lug thermistors are capable of continuous operation to +150 °C and long term reliability of 5,000 hours (dry heat)
- Devices featuring a nickel conductor and low profile closed ring tongue provide a low thermal gradient
- Mini lug sensors are optimized for fast reactions in space-limited applications
- Offered in both AEC-Q200 and cULus-recognized versions
- High insulation voltage ratings up to 2.7 kVAC
- Rugged construction
- Ring tongue terminals allow for easy mounting
- Available with a range of customization options to meet specific design requirements
Market Applications:
- Temperature sensing in electric vehicle (EV) battery management systems, consumer appliances, 3D printers, HVAC systems, welding equipment, alternative energy systems, motor drives, power electronics, and more.
