Welcome to the NTC Thermistor Curve Computation Programs of Vishay BCcomponents

The principles of these programs are the following:
1) First, select a component type:
- Epoxy-coated leaded
- Surface-mount (SMD) and then case size (0402, 0603, 0805: the curves are different)
- Glass-encapsulated housing (leaded diode package and SMD MELF type have identical curves)
2) Choose either the degree Fahrenheit (°F) or degree Celsius (°C) temperature scale.
3) Click on the desired links below.

4) Once you are in a particular program, follow the user mode detailed in the first sheet: "user mode".
Each Excel® file has 2 sheets: a "user mode" and an "RTCOEF" sheet with the computed table.
You will need to input the reference resistance value and tolerance for a given reference temperature:
The standard values and the ranges to choose from are shown in table 1 in the sheet "user mode".
You will also need to input a B25/85 value, which must be chosen from table 1.

For epoxy leaded types, the Ref. Temp. can be selected between -55 °C and 150 °C (-67 °F to 302 °F).
If you need the standard R(T) curve, just type 25 °C (77 °F) as the reference temperature.
For epoxy types, the Ref. resistance value can be selected depending on the chosen B25/85 value.
If standard curves are needed, you must choose one of the R @ 25 °C (77 °F) existing values in table 1.

For SMD and glass-encapsulated types, the reference temperature is fixed at 25 °C (77 °F) and the reference resistance values are fixed depending on the chosen B25/85 value.
It is not possible to type values not shown in table 1.
For SMD and glass-encapsulated types, the standard P/N and 12NC will also be indicated.
