EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60738-1-3 testing. IEC EN 60738-1-3 is another standard within the IEC 60738 series and focuses on thermistors with a directly heated positive step function temperature coefficient.
IEC EN 60738-1-3 is a supplementary standard to the general specification and includes the style and layout requirements and the minimum content of the detail specifications. Detail specifications that do not comply with these requirements will not be considered to comply with IEC specifications and will not be identified as such.
This standard is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and falls within the definition of EN (European Norm), which indicates that it is recognized as a European standard. It is part of the IEC 60738 series covering various aspects of thermistors.
Thermistors are temperature-sensitive resistors whose resistance changes with temperature. The standard focuses on a specific type of thermistor with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) that exhibits a step function response when directly heated.
This standard is part of the larger series (Part 1) and is particularly focused on the application of thermistors in inrush current applications.
Inrush current application indicates that thermistors covered by this standard are designed for use in applications where inrush current limitation is required. Inrush current refers to the surge in electrical current that occurs when a device is first turned on, and thermistors can be used to limit this current to protect electronic components.
