PART NUMBER SPECIFICATION:

To specify a part number, the following sequence should be used:

S43A10320 specifies a small bead thermistor with adjacent leads, 10000 ohms at 25 Deg. C., with a resistance tolerance of ±20%.

S43A10320 indicates small bead thermistor, .043" (1.1mm) nominal diameter

S43A10320 indicates lead configuration A: Adjacent leads B: Opposite leads

S43A10320 indicates zero power resistance at 25°C. The first two digits indicate significant figures, and the last digit indicates the number of zeros following the significant figures. In this example, "103" represents 10000 ohms.

S43A10320 indicates the resistance tolerance at 25°C, expressed in ±%. In this example, "20" indicates the standard tolerance of ±20%. Other typical tolerances include ±1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30%.
