Continued from the last article. Since the kits are small, it’s easy to carry it when you go out. You can just put it into your bag, as easy as carrying a book.The kits enclosure has a letter paper size: 11”(L) × 8.5”(W) × 2.2”(H) (279mm(L) × 216mm(W) × 56mm(H)). In addition, the compartments form a matrix of 8 rows × 16 columns.(more)

Continued from the last article. We have SMT kits with components already sorted inside, i.e. resistor kits, capacitor kits and inductor kits. These kits have different quantities and component values presorted in the kits.(more)

ATH10KL2A is a kind of NTC thermistor, which is packaged with glass.The resistance value of NTC thermistor ATH10KL2Ais 10K at the temperature of 25°C. This NTC thermistor comes with an extra small ring lug for being fixed easily. As NTC thermistor ATH10KL2A has compact size, short respond time and some other good characteristics, it has been widely utilized to measure the temperature of laser diode, optical elements, etc.,with high accuracy and long term stability. Figure 1 is the physical photo of a NTC thermistor ATH10KL2A.(more)

We are introducing an easy and convenient way to organize and sort out SMT inductors. Tiny and precise SMT components like SMT inductors, resistors and capacitors, are very common in electronic designer's bench, but it's hard to organize them in a small place. In order to save time and space, ATI provides a smart way for this: Super Surface Mount Inductor Kits.(more)

Thermistor with negative temperature coefficient is called NTC thermistor. NTC thermistor is made of such metal oxide materials as manganese, cobalt, nickel and copper, etc., with semiconductor. NTC thermistor has compact size, resistance and temperature characteristics with small fluctuations, etc. As NTC thermistor has fast response to all kinds of temperature changes, it can be used to realize high sensitivity and high precision detection.(more)

SMT Inductor Kits are designed for electronic designers in collecting and organizing surface mount inductors. We have a few types of inductor kits, which contain different inductors of commonly used values, with different quantities. These inductor kits offer a simplest way for obtaining any value of inductors within the shortest time with the highest efficiency.(more)

Based on Peltier effect, thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is built, which can both heat and cool, depending on the direction of DC current. TEC is a heat transfer tool. It has many advantages such as no refrigerant, high precision temperature control, compact size and so on. TEC has been widely used for temperature control of laser system temperature, refrigeration, water heater, air conditioner and computer CPU, etc. The working state of TEC is based on the current direction and size. In order to realize constant temperature control automatically, Peltier controller (TEC controller) is designed and produced. Our company (ATI) is very good at designing Peltier controller(more)

Thermistor is a kind of sensitive elements. According to different temperature coefficients, thermistor can be divided into positive temperature coefficient thermistor (PTC thermistor) and negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC thermistor). The typical characteristic of thermistor is temperature sensitive. With temperature increasing, the PTC thermistor resistance will increase and the NTC thermistor resistance will decrease. PTC thermistor and NTC thermistor both belongs to semiconductor devices.(more)

For a temperature regulating system, NTC thermistor is very important as the temperature sensor. Glass encapsulated thermistor has better performance than epoxy coated thermistor, such as zero short and long term drift, which is an important factor in order to achieve high system performance. Low cost epoxy coated NTC thermistor have large short and long term resistance drift, so when sensing the same temperature, the resistance changes with time, it will lead to a wrong sensed temperature, resulting in a drifted target object temperature. You can take some factors into consideration when choosing a proper NTC thermistor in temperature control system: operating temperature range, sensitivity, drift, size, mounting method, etc. Our NTC thermistors are all encapsulated with glass material, with compact size. Some thermistor come with bare leads, while some are lugged form. The former is used for point sensing in order to achieve high accuracy; the latter is for bulk temperature sensing, such as optical components, etc.(more)

Peltier controller is an electronic module which is designed for regulating the thermal load temperature. By using a Peltier module, the temperature of the thermal load can be increased or decreased, which depends on the current direction going through the two terminals of the TEC. Peltier controller can regulate the temperature of the thermal load with high efficiency and accuracy.(more)
