## **DESCRIPTION** 

These directly heated thermistors have a positive temperature coefficient and are primarily intended for overload protection. They consist of a metallized ceramic disk with two tinned brass or copper clad steel leads reflow soldered to it and coated with a high temperature silicone lacquer. Leadless disks and leaded disks without coating are available on request. 

## **MOUNTING** 

The PTC Thermistors are suitable for processing on automatic insertion equipment. 

## **Typical soldering** 

235 °C; duration: 5 s (Pb-bearing) 245 °C, duration: 5 s (Lead (Pb)-free) 

**Resistance to soldering heat** 260 °C, duration: 10 s max. 

## **MARKING** 

Only the grey lacquered thermistors with a diameter of 8.5 mm to 20.5 mm are marked with BC, _R_ 25 value (example 1R9) on one side and Int, Vmax. on the other side.

Imax. as stated in the electrical data and ordering information tables, is the maximum overload current that may flow through the PTC when passing from the low ohmic to high ohmic state at rated voltage. 

When other voltages are present after tripping, the Imax. value can be derived from the above Imax. as a function of voltage graph. Voltages below Vrated will allow higher overload currents to pass the PTC. 

## **TYPICAL TRIP-TIME AS A FUNCTION OF TRIP CURRENT RATIO**

Curve 1: Ø Dmax. = 20.5 mm Curve 2: Ø Dmax. = 16.5 mm Curve 3: Ø Dmax. = 12.5 mm Curve 4: Ø Dmax. = 10.5 mm Curve 5: Ø Dmax. = 8.5 mm Curve 6: Ø Dmax. = 7.0 mm Curve 7: Ø Dmax. = 5.0 mm 

Measured in accordance with _“IEC 60738”_ . 

## **Trip-time or switching time (ts)** 

To check the trip-time for a specific PTC, refer to the Electrical Data and Ordering Information tables for the value Int. Divide the overload or trip current by this Int and you realize the factor It/Int. This rule is valid for any ambient temperature between 0 °C and 70 °C. Adapt the correct non-trip current with the appropriate curve in the Current Deviation as a Function of the Ambient Temperature graph. The relationship between the It/Int factor and the switching time is a function of the PTC diameter; see the above graphs. 

## **Example** 

What will be the trip-time at Iol = 0.8 A and Tamb = 50 °C of a thermistor type 2381 661 51713; 22 Ω ; Ø Dmax. = 8.5 mm: Int from the table: 170 mA at 25 °C 

Int: 170 x 0.87 = 148 mA (at 50 °C). 

Overload current = 0.8 A; factor It/Int:[0.8] /0.148 = 5.40. In the typical trip-time as a function of trip current ratio graph, at the 8.5 mm line and It/Int = 5.40, the typical trip-time is 3.0 s.
