Instructions for Use:

1. Handling:

   • Handle the thermistor with care to avoid mechanical damage.
   • Do not apply excessive force when soldering or handling the leads.

2. Soldering:

   • Preheat the thermistor to 70°C to 90°C before soldering.
   • Soldering temperature should not exceed 350°C.
   • Soldering time should be kept under 3 seconds per joint.
   • Allow the thermistor to cool naturally after soldering.

3. Mounting:

   • Ensure the thermistor is mounted in a location where it can accurately sense the temperature of the environment or component being monitored.
   • Avoid placing the thermistor near heat sources that could affect its readings.

4. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the thermistor in a circuit according to the specific application requirements.
   • Ensure the polarity is correct if the thermistor is polarized (though most thermistors are non-polarized).

5. Storage:

   • Store the thermistor in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
   • Keep the thermistor in its original packaging until ready for use to prevent contamination.

6. Testing:

   • Test the thermistor using a multimeter to ensure it meets the specified resistance at room temperature.
   • If the thermistor is used in a temperature-sensing application, calibrate the system to ensure accurate readings.

7. Maintenance:

   • Regularly inspect the thermistor for signs of damage or wear.
   • Replace the thermistor if it shows any signs of malfunction or if it no longer meets the required specifications.
