Temperature Measurement Radial Leaded Glass Encapsulated Bead MF51 NTC Thermistor I Description Of The MF51 NTC Thermistor Ampfort MF51 series of Glass Encapsulated thermistors are a special breed of NTC thermistors. Hermetically sealed, these small thermistors eliminate resistance reading errors caused by moisture penetration and they function efficiently in extreme temperatures as well as under severe environmental conditions. This class of thermistor is free from limitations due to solder temperature, which enables them to offer users a wide operating temperature range of -55C to +200 With diameters of only 1.5 mm, the devices small size allows for encapsulation in a variety of housings, such as ring lugs and hex nuts.Radial leaded glass encapsulated thermistors provide a low cost option for applications that require superior stability and high temperature operation. The thermistors are glass encapsulated to allow for operation in a wide array of environments including high humidity and rapid thermal cycling. The small size allows the sensor to react quickly to small temperature changes. III Applications Of The MF51 NTC Thermistor Automotive (water, intake air, ambient, battery, motor and fuel) , hybrid vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, automotive electronics Assembly into various probes of Temperature sensors General Instrumentation applications Temperature measurement and control commonly used in HVAC applications, water heaters, microwave ovens, home appliances Temperature control in common household appliances such as coffee makers, ovens, and refrigerators. Industrial applications may include monitoring battery pack terminal temperature while in a charge state. Medical applications that rely on airflow such as respirators. Outdoor applications such as infrared lighting systems.
