Additional Details

The NCP15WB473J18RC is an NTC thermistor, meaning its resistance decreases as temperature increases. The R25 value of 47 kΩ indicates the resistance at 25°C, which is a key parameter for selecting the appropriate thermistor. The B-constant (B25/85) of 4600 K describes the relationship between resistance and temperature, allowing for precise temperature calculations. The ±5% tolerance ensures accuracy in temperature sensing. The 0603 case size is small and suitable for surface mount technology (SMT). The thermistor is RoHS compliant. The NCP15WB473J18RC is commonly used to protect circuits from overheating by reducing current flow as the temperature rises. This component is often used in battery chargers and other consumer electronic devices to ensure safe operation. Its rugged construction ensures stable performance over a long period. The NTC thermistor is designed to be easily integrated into electronic circuits, providing a reliable and accurate method for temperature sensing and compensation. It offers stable performance and excellent long-term reliability.
