Barium Titanate for PTC thermistors PTC

Barium Titanate for PTC thermistors PTC

BaTiO₃’s unique ferroelectric and semiconducting properties are critical for the performance of PTC thermistors. Through precise doping and formulation control, BaTiO₃-based ceramics can be engineered to exhibit a strong PTC effect, offering a rapid and stable resistance rise once a threshold temperature is reached. This self-regulating behavior allows PTC thermistors to protect circuits without the need for fuses or external control mechanisms.
