EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60738-1-2 testing. IEC EN 60738-1-2 is another standard within the IEC 60738 series and deals specifically with directly heated positive step function temperature coefficient thermistors, focusing on their use in heating element applications.
IEC EN 60738-1-2 is a supplementary standard to the general specification and includes style and layout requirements and the minimum content of 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. The content of IEC EN 60738-1 will be taken into account in the preparation of the detail specifications.
The detail specification will specify whether the terminations are suitable for soldering. If not, appropriate connection methods should be specified; for example: welding, clamping or crimping.
The detailed specification will specify whether the thermistor is active or passively combustible, if available. The test method will be given in the test program.
Thermistors are temperature-sensitive resistors whose resistance varies with temperature. In this context, the standard deals with thermistors with certain characteristics.
Similar to the previous standard, this indicates that the thermistors covered have a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) and exhibit step function response when heated directly.
Like its predecessor, this standard provides a template or framework for creating detailed specifications for thermistors in heating element applications.
The heating element application indicates that the thermistors addressed by the standard are intended to be used as heating elements in a variety of applications. Thermistors can be used to control and monitor temperature in heating systems.
