Introduction to PTC Thermistors PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistors are temperature-sensitive resistors whose resistance increases significantly with rising temperature. Unlike traditional resistors that maintain a relatively stable resistance across a wide temperature range, PTC thermistors exhibit a sharp increase in resistance once they reach a specific temperature threshold, known as […]

Why is PCB Edge Plating Important? PCB edge plating is crucial for several reasons: Durability: The exposed edges of a PCB are susceptible to damage from handling, vibration, and environmental factors such as moisture and contaminants. Edge plating creates a protective barrier that helps prevent chipping, cracking, and delamination of […]
What is a Heat Sensor Circuit? A heat sensor circuit is an electronic device that consists of a temperature-sensitive component, such as a thermistor or a thermocouple, and additional circuitry to process the sensor’s output. The temperature-sensitive component changes its electrical properties in response to changes in temperature, allowing the […]
