ACAL BFi Business Development Director for Sensors, Walther Van Puijvelde, explains; “ACAL BFI’s strategy is to develop a linecard which gives every customer throughout Europe access to specialist technical support and assembly services on best-in-class components from leading manufacturers. We have already helped customers in automotive and consumer applications to use Shibaura products to solve their design challenges and we will now be able to extend this capability to all of our customers.”

The thermistors feature a fine ceramic chip which provides high stability, glass sealing for high heat resistivity and mechanical endurance and small physical dimensions for a fast response time.
