Automotive thermistors
High reliability combined with cost efficient structure
Thermistor sensors are sensors which detect liquid or air temperature and output as an electric resistance. The temperature range is from -50°C to 200°C in high quality, ruggedized, automotive packages for water, coolant, oil, and air temperature.
Panasonic Industry offers sensors in molded plastic and metal package as screw- or clip- types.
Durability and characteristics
Water
- The sensor is superior to water-proof by adopting an overmold molding method.
Heat
- Achieved heat resistance by an internal O-ring-less structure.
Shock
- Enhanced shock resistance by an interface-less structure.
