Research Summary

Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) thermistors are temperature-sensitive resistors that exhibit an increase in resistance with rising temperature. Unlike negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors, where resistance decreases as temperature rises, PTC thermistors experience a positive correlation between resistance and temperature. This characteristic makes PTC thermistors valuable in various applications, particularly as temperature sensors, overcurrent protectors, and in self-regulating heating elements. In PTC thermistors used as overcurrent protectors, the resistance increases dramatically when the temperature surpasses a specific threshold, leading to a significant reduction in current flow. This self-limiting behavior helps protect electronic circuits and devices from overheating and potential damage. Additionally, PTC thermistors are employed in diverse applications such as automotive systems, household appliances, and temperature-compensating devices where their unique resistance-temperature relationship is advantageous.
