An NTC thermistor is a ceramic semiconductor made with various metal oxides. Their electrical resistance decreases with increasing temperature. A typical temperature range for existing ceramic Negative Temperature Coefficient Thermistors is -80 degrees C to +300 degrees C. This resistance is processed by an electronic circuit to provide temperature measurement. The thermistor itself does not provide any control over heating elements, relays, etc. The thermistor is strictly a sensor and any electrical control would need to be implemented by the circuit utilizing the thermistor. Conventional ceramic NTC thermistors have been employed in the marketplace for over 70 years; and dominate the thermistor market. The ceramic thermistors are comprised of a metal oxide mix annealed at high temperatures. Companies around the world have used this ceramic technology to produce billions of thermistors annually. Typically, NTC thermistor is the most popular and economic solution for various fields such as home appliance, automotive, telecommunication, computer, medical instruments, industrial sites, etc.
The development trends of product appearance and performance
With the downstream consumer products showing trends of miniaturization, lightweighting and thinning, as well as the popularization of surface mount production processes, thermistors need to meet the diverse demands of various markets. This poses certain challenges to the process development of thermistors. In the coming years, the main technological development trends of thermistors can roughly be classified into the following aspects: 1. The requirements for the accuracy and sensitivity of thermistor temperature measurement are getting higher and higher, which can make the system control more accurate and prevent some unnecessary energy waste; 2. With the expansion of application scenarios, the demand for high-voltage and high-current resistant products is constantly increasing. 3. The miniaturization of product size and the diversification of packaging forms, such as the industrialization of glass packaging technology, have endowed the products with excellent heat resistance and weather resistance, enabling the preparation of fast-response micro-thermistors. 4. The product specifications are showing a trend of diversification to meet the diverse demands of downstream customers. Thermistors and digital processing chips are showing a trend of integration, which is conducive to achieving the intelligence and standardization of products.
Development of downstream application scenarios
In the context of global change, the impact of natural disasters on human beings is increasing. Outdoor equipment or infrastructure electronic devices such as outdoor street lamps, communication base stations and meteorological observation platforms, smart grids, rail transit, solar and wind power stations are all widely threatened by natural lightning strikes. Therefore, the varistors and thermistors used in related equipment, They are all developing in the direction of higher energy, smaller volume and more complex functions.
As for the once-in-a-century paradigm shift from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles, in the automotive industry such as IATF-16949, EC-Q, and VDA, there are requirements for quality systems, product reliability, development and manufacturing process control... Under the norms, higher reliability and longer life cycle are the main trends in the development of high-end products.
Intensified competition
With the expansion of downstream applications of products and the growth of the product market scale, more and more enterprises have entered this industry. Producers within the industry have adopted strategies such as lowering sales prices, expanding sales channels, and establishing stable cooperative partnerships to enhance their competitive edge in the market and capture a larger market share.
The increasingly fierce competition in the thermistor market and the continuous decline in product unit prices will prompt international major manufacturers to move or outsource their production lines.
The development trend of NTC thermistors
With the development of technology and the expansion of application scenarios, high precision, high reliability, high response speed and miniaturization are among the main technical trends of NTC: Within the range of -40°C to 250°C, compared with other types of temperature measurement elements, NTC thermistors offer the best cost performance and are widely used in temperature measurement and control for household appliances, automobiles, and industrial control.
With the development of technology and the expansion of application fields, the temperature detection accuracy requirements for NTC thermistors are getting higher and higher. At the same time, the measurement environment is becoming more and more demanding. The demand for highly reliable NTC thermistors is constantly increasing, and the application of NTC thermistors in household appliances such as smart toilets, coffee machines, and rice cookers is also expanding. The response speed of the product has gradually become the focus of attention. In addition, considering the optimization of assembly space, NTC thermistors are also showing an increasingly miniaturized trend.
In light of the product technology trends, the uniformity of material resistivity is a key factor influencing the performance of NTC thermistors: The uniformity of material resistivity is conducive to enhancing the accuracy, reliability, and consistency of NTC products, while the thermal conductivity of packaging materials has a significant impact on the response speed of NTC products. From the perspective of production process links, the preparation formula of ceramic matrix, sintering and other links are the key links that affect the resistivity of materials.
