Overview


In the Home and Consumer Appliance industries, temperature sensing systems can be restricted to placement in just one area within a product. Molex NTC Ring Terminal Cable Assemblies can be mounted anywhere in the product for accurate temperature sensing.

Some industries spend additional time and money finding a qualified and reliable connector for their temperature sensing cable assembly. Molex NTC Ring Terminal Cable Assemblies feature 1.25mm-pitch Micro-Lock Plus Connectors for immediate plug-and-play functionality and secure mating retention.

Sometimes it is difficult to get temperature readings in hard-to-reach places of equipment. Molex NTC Ring Terminal Cable Assemblies provide a variety of cable lengths for different beta value ranges to allow for temperature sensing in areas that are difficult to reach.

Some equipment require different levels of temperature sensitivity for various applications. Engineers are sometimes limited in varying their temperature sensitivity with one beta value. Molex NTC Ring Terminal Cable Assemblies offer diverse beta values to give an accurate level of sensitivity whether in a tight or a broad temperature range for applications.

Some applications require temperature readings within different tolerances based on their product needs. Sometimes more money is spent for this added flexibility. Molex offers a range of different resistance tolerances for each of their beta value ranges.

Customers may need to change their design infrastructure in order to accommodate thermistors operating at too high or too low resistance values. This costs time and money. The Molex NTC Ring Terminal Sensor Cable Assembly offers a range of resistance values at 25°C— from 1K to 100K ohms—to best fit customers’ application needs without needing to make design changes.
