Description

This sensor utilizes a high-precision NTC thermistor element, where resistance decreases predictably with increasing temperature. The integrated ring terminal provides a robust mechanical and electrical connection directly to battery cell terminals or busbars, minimizing contact resistance and ensuring the sensor accurately reflects the core battery temperature. This direct mounting is critical for reliable thermal management in high-current applications.

Designed specifically for Battery Management Systems, the sensor outputs a variable resistance that the BMS controller’s analog-to-digital converter or dedicated thermistor input can read. Its fast thermal time constant allows the BMS to react swiftly to sudden temperature spikes, enabling proactive measures like current limiting or charging suspension to prevent dangerous conditions such as overheating or thermal runaway.

Key Features

  • High-precision 10kΩ NTC thermistor with ±1% tolerance at 25°C for accurate temperature tracking
  • Integrated ring terminal ensures secure, low-impedance connection to battery terminals or busbars
  • Robust construction designed for the vibration and thermal cycling inherent in battery pack environments
  • Low dissipation factor (~2.5 mW/°C) minimizes self-heating error for true temperature measurement
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for integration into large-scale BMS and energy storage systems

Applications

  • Lithium-ion battery pack temperature monitoring in electric vehicles (EVs) and e-bikes
  • Thermal protection and management in residential and grid-scale energy storage systems (ESS)
  • BMS integration for UPS backup batteries, telecom power systems, and portable power stations
  • Temperature sensing on high-current busbars, contactors, and power distribution units

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect this NTC sensor to my Battery Management System?

The sensor connects via its ring terminal to a designated temperature sense point on your battery pack, typically a cell terminal or busbar. The two sensor wires (usually a signal and ground) are then connected to the dedicated thermistor input pins on your BMS controller. Consult your specific BMS wiring diagram for the correct pinout and any required pull-up resistor values.

What is the beta (B) value or temperature curve for this 10k NTC thermistor?

This sensor uses a standard 10kΩ NTC thermistor with a ±1% tolerance at 25°C. For precise temperature calculation, you will need the specific B-value (e.g., B25/85=3435K or B25/50=3950K) from the manufacturer's datasheet. The BMS firmware must be configured with the correct beta value and lookup table to convert the measured resistance into an accurate temperature reading.

Can this sensor be used for applications outside of battery packs?

Yes, while designed for BMS, this ring-terminal NTC sensor is suitable for any application requiring robust, direct-surface temperature measurement. It can monitor heatsinks, motor housings, power converters, or any metal surface where a secure mechanical and thermal bond is needed. Ensure your measurement circuit is designed for a 10kΩ NTC and stays within the sensor's -30°C to 120°C and 5mW power limits.
