m D2500-Type Digital
Characteristics
Minimum and maximum values are testing requirements. Typical values are characteristics of the device and are
the result of engineering evaluations. Typical values are for information purposes only and are not part of the test-
ing requirements.
* Standard operating condition is 5.0 V reverse bias.
Ratio of thermistor resistance at 0
°C to thermistor resistance at 50 °C.
* Other dispersion penalties at various dispersions available.
