Thermistor sensor

A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance is dependent on temperature, more so than in standard resistors. The word is a portmanteau of thermal and resistor. How to buy thermistors for each temperature application. Products available from Digi-key and Mouser.

NTC stands for “Negative Temperature Coefficient”. They are primarily used as resistive temperature sensors and current-limiting .

The term thermistor is a contraction of the words “thermal” and “resistor”. All resistors have some dependency on temperature, which is described by their temperature coefficient. In most cases for (fixed or variable) resistors the . All types of equipment use temperature sensors , ranging from computers, cars, kitchen appliances, air conditioners, and (of course) home thermostats. A thermistor , or thermally sensitive resistor, is a resistor which changes resistance in response to a change in temperature. There are two basic types of thermistors: NTC, or Negative Temperature Coefficient, and PTC, or Positive Temperature Coefficient.

All about thermistors for measuring and controlling temperature, including how to use the thermistor that's in. Therefore, please approve our product specifications or transact the approval sheet for product specifications before ordering.

NTC thermistors exhibit a decrease in . Individual Specifications. What is the difference between a thermistor and other sensors ? In addition to thermistors, several other types of temperature sensors are used. The most common are Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) and integrated circuits (IC ), such as the LM3and AD5types.

Which sensor works best for a particular use is . A variety of sensors are required in a . Thermistor sensors support our daily lives in many ways. You could use a microcontroller, a digital sensor , and have that control the relay. Or you could use the thermistor to feed the base of a transistor, as the temperature rises, the resistance goes down, feeding more current into the transistor until it turns on. This is a rough idea, you would need a few more . We are the experts in thermistor manufacturing.
