YQZ120N1.00

Overview

The YQZ120N1.00 is a PTC thermistor from the YQ series manufactured by Amphenol Advanced Sensors. It features a nominal resistance of 1 ohm with a tolerance of 25%. The component has a current rating of 650 mA and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +60°C. It utilizes radial leads for PCB mount installation and is supplied in bulk packaging.

Feature Summary

• Positive temperature coefficient behavior for circuit protection
• Radial leaded construction for through-hole mounting
• Standard tolerance specification for general applications

Applications

• Overcurrent protection circuits
• Temperature sensing elements
• Self-regulating heating devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the YQZ120N1.00 to confirm detailed thermal characteristics and maximum surge current ratings. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified 0°C to +60°C range to maintain performance integrity. Confirm that the 650 mA current rating aligns with the target circuit requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-resistance PTC element is required for radial mounting. The 1-ohm nominal value suits applications needing minimal voltage drop during normal operation. Consider the limited operating temperature range of 0°C to +60°C when designing for harsh environments where higher thermal stability is necessary.
