The B57221V2473J60 is a leaded NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor manufactured by EPCOS (TDK). NTC thermistors are temperature-sensitive resistors whose resistance decreases as their temperature increases. The B57221V2473J60 is designed for temperature sensing, temperature compensation, and temperature control applications.

Applications:

• Temperature Sensing in Automotive Electronics
• Temperature Compensation in Electronic Circuits
• Temperature Control in Industrial Equipment
• Overheating Protection in Power Supplies
• Temperature Measurement in HVAC Systems
• Battery Temperature Monitoring

Features:

• High Accuracy Temperature Sensing
• Fast Response Time
• Wide Operating Temperature Range
• Small Size
• Leaded Configuration for Easy Mounting

Benefits:

• Precise Temperature Measurement: Provides accurate temperature readings for reliable control and monitoring.
• Quick Response to Temperature Changes: Enables rapid adjustments in temperature-sensitive applications.
• Robust Performance: Operates reliably over a broad temperature range.
• Easy Integration: Leaded configuration simplifies mounting and connection to circuits.

Additional Details:

The B57221V2473J60 has a nominal resistance of 47 kΩ at 25°C. The thermistor's resistance-temperature characteristic is defined by its B value, which is typically specified in the datasheet. The device is available in a variety of package sizes and lead configurations to suit different mounting requirements. When using NTC thermistors, it is important to consider the self-heating effect, which can occur when current flows through the device, causing its temperature to rise above the ambient temperature. This effect can be minimized by limiting the current flowing through the thermistor.
