Philips Components Product specification
Thermistors for overload protection
PTC 30, 145 and 265 V (Ts= 140 °C) 2322 66. 4/5/6.... series
MBE263
FEATURES
•Different voltages to be chosen in
function of the application
•Available in three mechanical
versions
– 2322 66. 4.... naked discs
– 2322 66. 5.... leaded and coated
– 2322 66. 6.... taped, on reel
(to diameter 12.5 mm)
•Wide range of trip and non-trip
currents: from 17 mA up to 3 A for
the trip current
•Wide range of resistance: from
0.3 Ω up to 3 kΩ
•Small ratio between trip and
non-trip currents
(It/Int = 1.5 at 25 °C)
•High maximum inrush current
•Excellent long term behaviour, also
in humidity
•Leaded parts withstand mechanical
stresses and vibration
•Clear marking: the grey lacquered
thermistors with a diameter of 8.5 to
12.5 mm are marked with PH,
R25 value (example 4R6) on one
side and Int,V
max on the other
•UL file E148885 approval
•UL approved PTCs are guaranteed
to withstand severe test
programmes including:
– long-life cycle tests (over
5000 trip cycles)
– long-life storage tests
(3000 hours at 250 °C)
– cycle tests at low ambient
temperatures (−40 °C or 0 °C)
– damp-heat and water immersion
tests
– overvoltage tests at up to 200%
of rated voltage.
APPLICATIONS
•Telecommunications
•Automotive systems
•Industrial electronics
•Consumer electronics
•Electronic data processing.
DESCRIPTION
These directly heated thermistors
have a positive temperature
coefficient and are primarily intended
for overload protection. They consist
of a naked disc or with two tinned
brass leads and coated.
