The B57464S100M is a 2-pin NTC Thermistor with kinked leads of tinned copper wire and coated thermistor disk. This B57464S0 series thermistor is marked with manufacturer's logo, NTC and resistance value stamped on. 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. The bending radius should be at least 0.75mm. 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 inrush current limiting, switch-mode power supplies and soft-start motors (e.g. in vacuum cleaners).
