NTC Type AB6

Description

NTC Type AB6 thermistor assemblies consist of small

GC (chip-in-glass) or Thermobeads that are welded to

insulated extension leads. The Thermobeads or GC

(chip-in-glass) are hermetically sealed in glass and

have fine diameter 0.0007 in to 0.004 in (0.01778 mm

to 0.1016 mm) platinum alloy leads. The platinum leads

are cut short and welded to insulated extension leads

and the joints are covered in one of several insulation

types, depending upon the application or environment.

The assembly is then ready for insertion into

hypodermic needles, catheters or other small housings

that require extended leads. Any of the Thermobeads

or GC (chip-in-glass) listed in Table I may be used in

a NTC Type AB6 assembly. Please consult the data

shown for specific electrical or mechanical properties

for the thermistor selected.

Applications

Thermobead and GC (chip-in-glass) assemblies are

used where the small thermistor must be further

connected to longer leads, for insertion into deep

wells and cavities, or threading into long tubes. They

may also be used, as is, for applications that require

fast response measure-ments in confined spaces.

With these assemblies, the fast response of the small

thermistor is available without sacrificing ease of

insertion. The added leads and insulation allow the

minute assemblies to be handled in further assembly

operations, such as insertion into catheter lumens.

The same electrical characteristics that apply to the

selected thermistor (resistance value, resistance ratio,

stability) are unaltered in the assembly.
