This study is a detailed analysis of the global positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor markets. The study offers a detailed analysis of both ceramic and polymer-based PTC thermistors for overcurrent protection and temperature sensing. The study is exceptionally detailed and analyzes products based upon performance, configuration, application and end-use markets. The value and volume of demand is discussed on a global basis as is technical trends and directions in both surface mount and probe assemblies. The study includes a competitive analysis and sales and market shares by thermistor type. Forecasts to 2007.
