PTC thermistors
PTC thermistors
(OP)
Does anyone have a source for surface mount PTC thermistors? Specifically, I am looking for a thermistor that would have a room temperature value in the 10k to 30k range and a 0.4%/*C or higher slope.
The only supplier I found that had PTCs with that high of a resistance was a place called Quality Thermistor (thermistor.com). The prices they quoted were unbelieveable - not only were they not in the ballpark, they weren't in the same state.
thanks in advance.

RE: PTC thermistors
or even transistor or diode as sensor.
What is your application? How many/year? What kind of accuracy do you need?

Have you done a Digikey or Mouser search? Digikey shows 12 pages of PTCs in its search engine(perhaps they're all fuses though).

The PTC would be used as a direct replacement for a resistor in the analog system loop.
