long side termination (reverse geometry) thermistors?
« on: January 25, 2023, 04:10:48 pm »
does anyone know some part number/product series for SMD thermistors that have their terminations on the long side of the chip, rather than the short side?

I've been scrolling through digikey/mouser catalogs but I can't find the right packages. I've seen in pictures of packaged thermistor sensors thermistors that seem to fit the bill, but I haven't been able to discover what the actual chip is. (e.g. https://www.adafruit.com/product/4890)

Maybe I'm just searching with the wrong terminology? I've seen packages like 0306 MLCCs that have just the form factor that I want, and manufacturers call them reverse geometry or just long side termination. https://www.tti.com/content/ttiinc/en/manufacturers/tdk/products/TDK-Reverse-Geometery-Multilayer-ceramic-capacitor-MLCC.html

Never seen one by itself. I don’t really see the advantage of offering a reverse geometry package for a standalone SMD NTC temperature sensor. Temperature is inherently slow, and I don't think a bit of extra inductance in a temperature sensing loop usually matters.

The reverse geometry is probably just to make it easier to solder/weld the NTC to the leads.

This might be the one, although this is quite an abridged datasheet:
