10K Ohm NTC Thermistor

Description

• Resistance at Reference Temperature: The resistance of the thermistor is approximately 10,000 ohms (10K ohms) at the reference temperature (often 25°C or 77°F).
• NTC Characteristics: It is an NTC thermistor, which means its resistance decreases as the temperature increases. The rate of change in resistance with temperature is characterized by the thermistor’s Beta (β) value.
• Accuracy: The accuracy of the thermistor in temperature measurement depends on its tolerance and the linearity of its resistance-temperature curve.
• Tolerance: Tolerance refers to the permissible variation in resistance around the nominal value. Common tolerances for NTC thermistors include 1%, 3%, and 5%.
• Beta (β) Value: The Beta value characterizes the thermistor’s temperature-resistance relationship. It helps in converting resistance to temperature. Different thermistors may have different Beta values.
• Operating Temperature Range: NTC thermistors are typically designed to operate within a specific temperature range. Beyond this range, their accuracy may be compromised.
• Applications: NTC thermistors are used in a wide range of applications, including temperature sensing and compensation in electronic circuits, temperature control systems, environmental monitoring, and more.
• High Sensitivity: NTC thermistors are known for their high sensitivity to temperature changes, making them suitable for precise temperature measurement.
