Product Description
This Thermistor CTP 100 Ω ±10% (Thermistance CTP 100 Ω ±10%) is a solid-state component for thermal protection. It exhibits a positive resistance-to-temperature correlation, functioning as a self-regulating resettable fuse. It is used to demonstrate overcurrent limiting and thermal safety protocols in physics curricula and industrial electronic sensor modeling. Note: a PTC thermistor can warm noticeably while self-limiting current — allow it to cool before handling after an overcurrent event.
