The POZ2AN-1-502N-T00 is a thermistor manufactured by Murata Electronics North America. This component is primarily used for temperature sensing and compensation in various electronic circuits. It is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, which means its resistance decreases as its temperature increases.

Applications

• Temperature sensing in consumer electronics
• Temperature compensation in power supplies
• Overheat protection in electronic devices
• Temperature monitoring in industrial equipment
• Battery temperature management

Features

• Negative temperature coefficient (NTC)
• High sensitivity to temperature changes
• Excellent long-term stability
• Small size for compact applications
• Reliable performance
• Leaded package (T00) for easy mounting

Benefits

• Accurate temperature measurement
• Improved circuit performance by compensating for temperature effects
• Protection against damage from overheating
• Easy integration into existing designs
• Consistent and dependable operation over time
• Cost-effective temperature sensing solution

Additional Details

The POZ2AN-1-502N-T00 has a nominal resistance of 5 kOhms at 25°C. The “T00” designation usually indicates a specific packaging or lead configuration. The relationship between its resistance and temperature is characterized by its B-value (beta), which is a material constant. A higher B-value indicates greater sensitivity to temperature changes. It is well-suited for applications requiring accurate temperature monitoring and control.

When using this thermistor, it is essential to consider the effects of self-heating. Power dissipation within the thermistor can raise its temperature and affect the accuracy of measurements. The datasheet from Murata provides detailed specifications, including the B-value, resistance tolerance, operating temperature range, and thermal time constant. Its robust design and long-term stability ensure reliable performance in various environments.
