QTI Sensing Solutions
TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND THERMISTOR PRODUCTS
A thermistor, or thermally sensitive resistor, is a resistor which changes resistance in response to a change in temperature. There are two basic types of thermistors, NTC or Negative Temperature Coefficient and PTC or Positive Temperature Coefficient thermistors. NTC thermistors exhibit a decrease in resistance when temperature rises. PTC thermistors exhibit an increase in resistance when temperature rises.
About QTI Sensing Solutions
QTI Sensing Solutions, founded in 1977 as Quality Thermistor, Inc., was formed to meet the increasing demand for high quality electronic components for the aerospace industry. Since then, QTI has exceeded the requirements of some of the most stringent high cost of failure applications, changing the landscape of the supply chain for the entire industry. Today, QTI Sensing Solutions continues to maintain its leadership position for mission-critical applications as well as for medical and industrial applications by supplying the world’s top companies with innovative products and services. In fact, QTI developed the highest standard for surface mount thermistors with the introduction of qualified surface mount parts to MIL-PRF-32192; supplying design engineers with fully qualified DSCC options for two PTC and three NTC surface mount package styles. Additionally, QTI has partnered with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center for surface mount thermistors qualified to S311-P827, an industry first! In addition to QTI’s accomplishments, our ISO:09001:2000 and AS9100 certified manufacturing and testing facilities in Idaho enhances our ability to meet the needs of today’s challenging temperature measurement and control applications.
