Temperature-dependent

Temperature-dependent describes the property of resistors that their electrical resistance changes depending on the ambient temperature. This physical reaction is used specifically to measure temperature curves or to stabilize electrical systems. Typical representatives of temperature-dependent Resistors are RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) and thermistors. RTDs are characterized by an almost linear resistance-temperature characteristic, while thermistors show a non-linear but very sensitive reaction to temperature fluctuations. In electronics and measurement technology, temperature-dependent components enable precise measurements and temperature compensation.

ROTIMA AG distributes high-quality temperature-dependent resistors in cooperation with VPG Foil Resistors, a leading manufacturer in this field.

Temperature-dependent resistors are essential in applications where temperature monitoring and control are required. These include industrial process controls, temperature compensation in measuring systems, precise reference points in thermocouple circuits and protective mechanisms in semiconductor circuits. Temperature-dependent components are also used in medical technology, laboratory technology and aviation to monitor operating states and prevent faults. The resistors enable fast response times and high accuracy when recording temperature values. RTDs and thermistors can be precisely matched to the respective application.

As a distributor of precision components, ROTIMA AG, in cooperation with VPG Foil Resistors, provides a wide range of temperature-dependent resistors for various industrial and technical applications.

Temperature-dependent sensors are crucial for the functional reliability of electronic systems. Electronic components react sensitively to temperature fluctuations, which can lead to loss of performance, malfunctions or even damage. Temperature-dependent Resistors such as RTDs or thermistors enable seamless monitoring and compensation of such effects. They provide precise temperature values that can be used as a basis for activating protective mechanisms or control circuits. Especially in complex systems such as semiconductor circuits, power electronics or measurement technology, temperature-dependent monitoring ensures stability and longevity.

As an experienced distributor in electrical engineering, ROTIMA AG provides high-quality temperature-dependent sensors and distributes products from VPG Foil Resistors, which are valued worldwide for their reliability and accuracy.

RTDs and thermistors are both temperature-dependent reacting resistors, but differ in their structure and properties. RTDs are made of metals such as platinum and show a linear change in resistance with temperature. They are ideal for precise measurements over a wide temperature range. Thermistors, on the other hand, are made of ceramic materials and have a highly non-linear characteristic curve. They react particularly sensitively to small temperature changes and are ideal for applications with a narrow measuring range and high sensitivity. Both variants offer specific advantages and must be selected according to the requirements.

ROTIMA AG supports customers in selecting the appropriate temperature-dependent resistor type and supplies high-quality products for individual requirements in cooperation with VPG Foil Resistors.

Temperature-dependent resistors can be flexibly integrated into a wide variety of electronic systems. Depending on the application, both through-hole components and SMD components are available. Integration takes place via analog or digital evaluation circuits that react to the change in resistance and process the corresponding signals. It is particularly important to select the appropriate characteristic curve and to calibrate the circuit to the temperature-dependent component. Close coordination is required for demanding applications such as in the aerospace industry, in laboratory equipment or for temperature compensation in sensors. ROTIMA AG provides support here with sound advice and, together with VPG Foil Resistors, supplies customized temperature-dependent resistors that guarantee maximum precision, stability and long-term reliability.
