Murata PTC Thermistor POSISTOR for Circuit Protection Overheat Sensing Lead Type PTFM Series is a screw clamp type temperature sensor which has been developed for sensing the temperature of Transistors, Thyristors, stereo main amplifiers, and other devices having risk of overheat.

AMWEI PTC Thermsitor Limit Temperature Sensor AMZ6 series type B  Lug can be an ideal alternative to Murata PTFM Series.

Then, What is AMWEI PTC Thermsitor Limit Temperature Sensor?

AMWEI PTC Thermistor Limit Temperature Sensor is ceramic PTC thermistor disk with radial lead Lug tag Terminal.
Making use of the characteristics that the resistance of ceramic PTC thermistors increases sharply above curie temperature, when ambient temperature increases abnormally, protective circuit installed PTC thermistor will turn on or cut off loop through resistance changing, achieving thermal protection purpose.

In metal lug construction, applied for temperature sensing and temperature protection due it switches at one particular temperature.

Selecting AMWEI PTC thermistor Limit Temperature Sensor Screw Clamp Type to Cross Murata PTFM Overheat Temperature Sensor in Lug Terminal, the following shall be noted:

  • Max. operating voltage (TA = 0-40 C) Vmax: 30 V DC
  • Measuring voltage (TA = 25 C  Tsense) Vmeas ≤ 2.5 V DC
  • Sensing temperature Tsense can be 70C, 80C, 90C, 100C, 110C, 120C, centigrade.
  • Resistance @25C R25 Ω can be 100 ohm, or 330 ohm max.
  • Resistance at Tsense-15C:  330Ω or 1500Ω max.
  • Resistance at Sensing temperature Tsense: 470Ω or 2200 Ω min.
  • Maximum permissible current: 100mA
