NTC Type BR Series
Glass Encapsulated
Bead Thermistors
Features
Type BR11/14/16/25
Small glass encapsulated bead thermistors on fine
diameter alloy lead-wires.
•
Suitable for most low cost temperature measurement, control
or compensation applications
•
Very fast thermal response times
•
Rugged glass encapsulation provides hermetic seal and better
strain relief than small glass coated bead thermistors
•
Long term stability is better than small glass coated bead
thermistors
•
Suitable for self-heated applications such as liquid level
sensing or gas flow measurement
•
Recommended for all applications where the customer will
perform further assembly operations
•
Normal operating/storage temperatures range from
•
-112°F (-80°C) to: 221°F (105°C) for Material system E0, 392°F
(200°C) for Material systems A1 through A4, 572°F (300°C) for
Material systems A5 through D17
•
Unaffected by severe environmental exposures, including
nuclear radiation
•
Intermittent operation to 1112°F (600°C) is permissible,
however, stability will be degraded
Type B32/42/55

diameter platinum alloy lead-wires.
•

or compensation applications
•

Special tolerances are available upon request. Consult factory for special resistance tolerances, non-
standard resistances and/or non-standard temperatures.
*The zero-power resistance at 77°F (25°C), expressed inΩ, is identified by a
three digit code number. The first two digits represent significant figures, and
the last digit specifies the number of zeros to follow. Example: 10k
Ω=
“103”.
The standard resistance values are from the 24-Value series decade as specified
in Military Standard MS90178.
