Additional Details

The POZ2AN-1-104N is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, meaning that its resistance decreases as temperature increases. It has a resistance value of 100 kOhms at a specified reference temperature (typically 25°C). The thermistor's resistance-temperature characteristic is non-linear, and the exact relationship is defined by the B value (beta), which is a material constant. The higher the B value, the more sensitive the thermistor is to temperature changes. The thermistor is available in a leaded package for through-hole mounting.

The POZ2AN-1-104N is widely used in temperature sensing and compensation circuits. In temperature sensing applications, the thermistor is typically used in a voltage divider configuration, where its resistance is measured to determine the temperature. In temperature compensation applications, the thermistor is used to counteract the effects of temperature on other circuit components. Detailed specifications, including resistance tolerance, B value, operating temperature range, and thermal time constant, can be found in the Murata Electronics North America datasheet.
