According to data from the China Business Intelligence Network, the consumer electronics industry has recently developed rapidly, and a huge industrial scale has been formed, driven by the latest technologies.
The “2022-2027 China Consumer Electronics Industry Market Prospects Forecast and Future Development Trend Report” released by the China Business Industry Research Institute shows that the scale of China’s consumer electronics market will reach approximately 1,864.9 billion RMB in 2022, with an average annual compound growth rate of 2.97% in the past five years. Analysts at the China Business Industry Research Institute predict that the scale of China’s consumer electronics market will increase to 1,920.1 billion RMB in 2023 and 1,977.2 billion RMB in 2024.
In consumer electronics, temperature is an important parameter that affects the performance and stability of systems. To measure temperature quickly, NTC thermistors are widely used in applications such as water dispensers, smart toilets, and coffee machines. Let’s discuss the principle, application field, and product structure of fast-responding NTC thermistors.
1. The Principle of NTC thermistor
NTC thermistors are nonlinear resistors that alter their resistance characteristics with temperature. Their resistance decreases as the temperature increases, enabling them to respond quickly to temperature changes.
2. How NTC thermistors work in consumer electronics applications
2.1 Water dispenser: As a device with high safety performance, water dispensers have high requirements for temperature response time. NTC thermistors are mainly installed at their inlet and outlet to measure water temperature, prevent water from being too cold or too hot, and prevent potential dangers.
2.2 Smart toilet: NTC thermistors can detect the water temperature, wind temperature, and seat heating on smart toilets. For example, for water temperature, NTC thermistors are usually installed at the water’s inlet and outlet to quickly detect water temperature and prevent risks caused by overheating water.
2.3. Coffee machine: Brewing coffee requires specific water temperatures. Overheating water will destroy the taste of coffee. NTC temperature thermistors are mainly used to detect the outlet temperature, improve the brewing of coffee machines, and prevent safety accidents.
3. NTC thermistor’s structure
A fast-responding NTC thermistor is a glass bead potting into a bullet-shaped housing. It is tiny and fast, with high waterproof performance, making it the best choice for detecting water temperature.
