Product details
Overview
KTY83/122,113 from NXP Semiconductors is a silicon-based positive temperature coefficient (PTC) temperature sensor in SOD68 (DO-34) axial-leaded glass package, with nominal resistance R25 = 1000–1020 Ω at 25 °C and temperature coefficient TC = 0.76 %/K. It delivers fail-safe behavior, long-term stability, and virtually linear resistance vs. temperature response for analog temperature sensing in industrial control loops.
For engineers reviewing the KTY83/122,113 datasheet, KTY83/122,113 pinout, KTY83/122,113 application, or KTY83/122,113 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±1.31 K max temperature error at 25 °C, 1 mA recommended operating current, −55 to +175 °C ambient range, and SOD68 mechanical compatibility with legacy DO-34 PCB footprints.
Technical Context
The KTY83/122,113 operates as a two-terminal passive PTC resistor whose resistance increases monotonically and predictably with temperature. Its behavior is defined by R−55/R25 = 0.49–0.51 and R100/R25 = 1.65–1.69, enabling direct analog voltage division without active compensation.
Thermal time constant is 20 s in still air, 1 s in still liquid, and 0.5 s in flowing liquid - confirming suitability for both slow ambient monitoring and rapid fluid temperature tracking. Maximum continuous sensor current is 10 mA at 25 °C, derating to 2 mA at 175 °C per IEC 60134 limiting values.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| R25 | 1000–1020 Ω at 25 °C, 1 mA bias - sets baseline gain and resolution in voltage-divider circuits |
| TC | 0.76 %/K - enables predictable resistance change of ~7.6 Ω/K near 25 °C for analog signal conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PTC temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTY83/121 | R25 = 980–1000 Ω; R100/R25 = 1.65–1.69; same TC and package | Lower baseline resistance shifts voltage-divider output range downward by ~20 Ω at 25 °C | Select when existing circuit bias network requires tighter low-end resistance tolerance |
| KTY83/150 | R25 = 950–1050 Ω; wider initial tolerance; higher max temperature error (±6.55 K at 25 °C) | Designed for cost-sensitive consumer appliances where ±7 K accuracy is acceptable | Choose only if design tolerates reduced precision and broader R25 spread |
Compared with KTY83/122,113, KTY83/121 offers tighter R25 matching for precision analog scaling, while KTY83/150 trades accuracy for broader R25 tolerance and lower unit cost - neither is pin-compatible drop-in replacement but all share identical SOD68 footprint and bias requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for KTY83/122,113?
KTY83/122,113 is rated for ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +175 °C per IEC 60134 limiting values. At 175 °C, continuous sensor current must be limited to 2 mA to prevent thermal runaway or accelerated aging. The device maintains specified R−55/R25 and R100/R25 ratios across this full range, making KTY83/122,113 suitable for direct attachment to high-temperature components like power inductors or motor windings.
How does KTY83/122,113 differ from thermistors or RTDs?
KTY83/122,113 is a silicon PTC sensor with near-linear resistance vs. temperature behavior (±1.31 K error at 25 °C), unlike NTC thermistors which exhibit exponential curves requiring complex linearization. Compared to platinum RTDs, KTY83/122,113 offers lower cost, smaller SOD68 package, and faster thermal response (0.5 s in flowing liquid), though with lower absolute accuracy than Class A Pt100 sensors. Its fail-safe PTC nature also provides inherent safety advantages over NTCs in overtemperature detection.
What is the recommended bias current for KTY83/122,113?
The recommended continuous operating current for KTY83/122,113 is 1 mA, as specified in the datasheet for characterization and minimal self-heating (<0.1 K error). This value ensures stable R25 measurement and preserves long-term drift performance. While the absolute maximum is 10 mA at 25 °C, exceeding 1 mA increases self-heating nonlinearly - for example, at 5 mA, self-heating may exceed 2.5 K, degrading accuracy beyond published ∆T specs. Always use KTY83/122,113 with constant-current drive or high-impedance voltage divider.
Can KTY83/122,113 be used in liquid immersion applications?
Yes, KTY83/122,113 is explicitly characterized for use in liquid media, with thermal time constant of 1 s in still liquid and 0.5 s in flowing liquid. Its hermetically sealed SOD68 glass package provides full moisture and chemical resistance, making it suitable for coolant, oil, and food-grade liquid temperature monitoring. Resistance values in Tables 8 and 9 are measured "in liquid", confirming validated performance under immersion - no conformal coating or additional encapsulation is required for KTY83/122,113 in such environments.
What marking code identifies KTY83/122,113 on the device body?
KTY83/122,113 is marked with code "KT83E" per Table 4 of the NXP datasheet. This laser-etched or printed identifier appears on the glass body of the SOD68 package and is the only factory-assigned marking for traceability and visual verification. No date codes, lot numbers, or revision indicators are included in the standard marking - full traceability requires batch documentation from Aetrix Electronics' certified sourcing records for KTY83/122,113.
