NTC THERMISTORS:
TYPE P60/65/85/100
LARGE BEAD-IN-GLASS THERMOPROBES
DESCRIPTION:
The Type P60, P65, P85 and P100 THERMOPROBES
consist of a large bead thermistor hermetically sealed in
the tip of a shock resistant solid glass rod. They have
excellent long term stability.
APPLICATIONS:
The Type P60, P65, P85 and P100 THERMOPROBES are
recommended for all low cost, general purpose applications
involving temperature measurement, temperature control,
circuit temperature compensation, liquid level sensing or
fluid flow sensing. They are ideally suited for applications
which require a reliable, low cost sensor.
DATA:
All THERMOPROBES are aged for extended periods of time.
As such, they exhibit excellent stability for all service temper-
atures at or below the aging temperature. THERMOPROBES
which are manufactured with Material System “E” are aged
at 105°C; those manufactured with a Material System having
a 25°C/125°C ratio of 16.9 or less are aged at 200°C; and
all other Material Systems are aged at 300°C. Intermittent
operation at temperatures up to 600°C is permissible,
however, degraded stability will result when the aging
temperature is exceeded.

104
M
Tolerance code letter (see NOTE 1 and TABLE B)
Zero-power resistance as 25°C (see NOTE 2)
Material System Code Letter (see TABLE A)
Probe Length Code Letter (See TABLE C for ordering codes.)
“B” = .250" ± .050"
“D” = .500" ± .063"
(See TABLE A for probe length restrictions.)
Nominal Probe Diameter in mils. (Specify 60, 65, 85 or 100.)
Style “P” denotes large bead-in-glass THERMOPROBE structure.
NOTE 1:
Special tolerances are available on request. Consult factory for special resistance tolerances, non-standard
resistances and/or non-standard temperatures.
NOTE 2:
The zero-power resistance at 25°C, expressed in Ohms, is identified by a three digit code number. The first two digits
represent significant figures, and the last digit specifies the number of zeros to follow. Example: 100k Ohms = “104”.
The standard resistance values are from the 24-Value series decade as specified in Military Standard MS90178.

RESISTANCE -VS- TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTICS: The nominal resistance range for the zero-power resistance at 25°C is shown
for each large bead-in-glass THERMOPROBE Type and each available Material System. Each Material System is denoted by an
ordering Code Letter, a referenced Curve number and the nominal 25°C/125°C resistance ratio.
