PTC thermal resistor thermistor MZ6 75 Degree 1K Ohm Green PTC 6mm Diameter
 
Key features of the MZ6 PTC thermistor    
Function: It acts as a self-limiting device; as temperature rises, so does resistance, which reduces current flow and helps prevent overheating.  
Application: It is frequently used to protect electric motors from over-temperature conditions. It can also be used in switching mode power supplies and other machinery that runs continuously.  
Construction: It is a small, durable component, often available with triple, quadruple, or sextuple connections to be wired in series.  
Temperature Range: The response temperature, or Curie temperature, can be customized to specific needs, with options often available from 60 Degree C to 180 Degree C.  
Resistance: The resistance is significantly low at normal temperatures but increases sharply above its response temperature. The marked resistance value is typically measured at 75 Degree C.
