Available in two sizes, the KG NTC are unique SMD glass thermistors, for applications where an accurate measurement of PCB temperature is needed, in the presence of high temperature and repeated thermal cycles.
Thanks to their extreme reliability, they are commonly used in products like IGBT power modules, for industrial and automotive applications.
Square glass-headed metal electrodes bring virtually no change for the KG through its lifetime. In addition, the KG provides excellent solderability and mountability.
