1) Self heating of the NTC thermistor must not exceed 0.2 K, steady state. Test conditions deviating from AEC Q200, Rev. D.
2) Deviating from AEC Q200, Rev. D.
Note
Contact of NTC thermistors with any liquids and solvents shall be prevented. It must be
ensured that no water enters the NTC thermistors (e.g. through plug terminals).
Avoid dewing and condensation unless thermistor is specified for these conditions.
