NTC SMD Thermistors
With Nickel Barrier Termination NB 21 - NB 23
Chip thermistors are high quality and low cost devices
especially developed for surface mounting applications. They
are widely used for temperature compensation but can also
achieve temperature control of printed circuits.
A nickel barrier metallization provides outstanding qualities of
solderability and enables this chip to meet the requirements
of the most severe soldering processes.

Good solderability is maintained for at least twelve months,
provided the components are stored in their “as received”
packaging at less than 40°C and 70% RH.

Terminations to be well soldered after immersion in a 60/40
tin/lead solder bath at 235 ± 5°C for 2 ± 1 seconds.
Terminations will resist leaching for at least the immersion

NB products are compatible with a wide range of soldering
conditions consistent with good manufacturing practice for
surface mount components. This includes Pb free reflow
processes with peak temperatures up to 270ºC.
Recommended profiles for reflow and wave soldering are
shown below for reference.
NC products are recommended for lead soldering application
or gluing techniques.
a) The visual standards used for evaluation of solder joints
will need to be modified as lead free joints are not as bright
as with tin-lead pastes and the fillet may not be as large.
b) Resin color may darken slightly due to the increase in
temperature required for the new pastes.
c) Lead-free solder pastes do not allow the same self align-
ment as lead containing systems. Standard mounting
pads are acceptable, but machine set up may need to be
modified.
