Chip Type NTC Thermistors
• Cal-Chip’s CNTC thermistor is made from metallic oxide
ceramic semi-conductor.
• The thermistor is a resistant element having higher sen-
sitivity and reliability. The resistance changes according to
temperature.
• Their leadless chip design makes them ideal for automated
mounting on printed circuit boards.

• Guaranteed up to 125°C.
• Large B constant for higher temperature measurement
capability.
• Ideal for automatic mounting in bulk or from tapes
because of front-rear symmetry.
• EIAJ standard dimensions.
• Reliability has been improved by use of internal electrodes.

HARACTERISTICS
R25
Resistance of the thermistor at
the temperature of 25±0.2°C and
one digit characteristic section.
For example: 15 kΩ = 153.
Calculated from the resistance of
the thermistor R(T1) and R(T2)
measured at the temperature of

This represents the amount of electric power required to raise the temperature of the
element by 1°C through self heating under thermal equilibrium.
This represents the amount of time for the temperature of the thermistor element to
change by 63.2% of the difference between the initial temperature and the ambient tem-
perature by the drastic change of power application into thermistor from non-zero-power to
zero-power status.
This represents the maximum ambient temperature at which rated power could be applied.
