... When loaded with maximum allowable current/power and the specified dissipation factor is taken as a basis, the NTC thermistor may reach a mean temperature 250 C. The heat developed during operation will also be dissipated through the lead wires. So the contact areas, too, may become quite hot at maximum load. ...

... Leaded NTC thermistors Leaded thermistors comply with the solderability requirements specified by CECC. When soldering, care must be taken that the NTC thermistors are not damaged by excessive heat. The following maximum temperatures, maximum time spans and minimum distances have to be observed: Bath temperature ...

... When thermistors are sealed, potted or overmolded, there must be no mechanical stress caused by thermal expansion during the production process (curing / overmolding process) and during later operation. The upper category temperature of the thermistor must not be exceeded. Ensure that the materials used (sealing / potting compound and plastic material) are chemically neutral. ...

... See "Important notes" at the end of this document. Storage Store thermistors only in original packaging. Do not open the package before storage. Storage conditions in original packaging: storage temperature humidity 75% annual mean, maximum 95%, dew precipitation is inadmissible. Avoid contamination of thermistors surface during storage, handling and processing. ...

... Electrode must not be scratched before/during/after the mounting process. Contacts and housings used for assembly with thermistor have to be clean before mounting. During operation, the inrush current limiters surface temperature can be very high. Ensure that adjacent components are placed at a sufficient distance from the thermistor to allow for proper cooling of the thermistors ...
