The Hidden Cost of Thermal Runaway in Modern Electronics
As power densities climb in automotive and industrial systems, 78% of hardware failures stem from improper temperature management (TDK Reliability Report 2023). The EPCOS DST-E136108-A NTC thermistor redefines precision thermal control with three critical innovations:
- 10kΩ @25°C ±1% accuracy ensures sub-degree temperature tracking
- -40°C to +150°C range withstands extreme environments
- 5s response time enables real-time thermal compensation
Precision Thermal Management in Action
TDK's patented sintered ceramic technology achieves 0.05°C repeatability, making this 5.5mm diameter sensor ideal for:
