The B57020M2502A 17 is an NTC Thermistor with moulded plastic case, PVC-insulated connecting cable (white) and wire leaded terminals. This B57020M2 series through hole mounting thermistor is highly resistant to water and moisture. A lead (wire) may be bent at a minimum distance of twice the wire's diameter plus 4mm from the component head or housing. When bending ensure the wire is mechanically relieved at the component head or housing. Twisting (torsion) by 180° of a lead bent by 90° is permissible at 6mm from the bottom of the thermistor body. Soldering can use resin-type flux or non-activated flux. The soldering due to insufficient preheating may cause ceramic cracks. Suitable for temperature measurement, cabinet and evaporator in refrigerators and deep freezers.
