NF40 PTC Ni-Fe Alloy Wire with High Nickel Content 50%-55% for Industrial

Product Specification

NF40 PTC Ni-Fe Alloy Wire with High Nickel Content 50%-55%  High Positive Temperature Coefficient for Industrial Heating, Resistance 0.40

The product exhibits a resistivity of 0.40 at a temperature of 20°C, with a tolerance range of ±0.02.

PTC Ni-Fe alloys NF40 with 50-55% nickel content are specialized nickel-iron alloys characterized by their positive temperature coefficient (PTC) properties, meaning their electrical resistance increases as temperature rises. This feature makes them particularly valuable in applications requiring temperature-sensitive response and regulation, such as sensors, thermistors, and self-regulating heating elements. With moderate electrical resistivity and stable performance across a wide range of temperatures, these alloys are suitable for use in demanding environments.

The Ni-Fe alloys in this range are also resistant to corrosion and oxidation, allowing them to perform reliably in harsh conditions, such as those found in automotive, aerospace, and industrial electronics. Their high-temperature durability enables them to function as overcurrent protection devices and in battery management systems, where they help prevent overheating by limiting current flow under elevated temperatures. These alloys are versatile and durable materials, widely applied for advanced thermal management and safety across multiple sectors.
