Compare NTC and PTC thermistor
NTC Thermistor
|
PTC Thermistor
|
NTC Thermistor means Negative temperature Coefficient
|
PTC Thermistor means Positive temperature Coefficient
|
NTC means resistance of thermistor Decreases as temperature rises.
|
PTC means resistance of thermistor increases as temperature rises.
|
NTC thermistors are made from a pressed disc, rod, plate, bead or cast chip of semiconducting material such as sintered metal oxides.
|
PTC thermistors are made from doped polycrystalline ceramic (containing barium titanate (BaTiO3)
|
NTC Thermistors characteristics are nonlinear in nature.
|
PTC Thermistor are comparatively linear in nature.
