Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between NTC and PTC thermistors?
NTC thermistors have a negative temperature coefficient, meaning their resistance decreases as temperature increases. They are commonly used for temperature sensing and measurement. PTC thermistors have a positive temperature coefficient, with their resistance increasing as temperature increases. They are typically used for over-temperature protection, self-regulating heaters, and current limiting.
How do I select the appropriate thermistor for my application?
To select the right thermistor, consider factors such as temperature range, sensitivity, stability, tolerance, size, and the specific requirements of your application.
Can thermistors be used for both temperature sensing and control?
Yes, thermistors can be used for both temperature sensing and control applications, depending on their type (NTC or PTC) and specific design.
What is the typical operating temperature range for thermistors?
The operating temperature range for thermistors varies depending on the specific type and model. Some thermistors can operate in temperature ranges as wide as -50°C to +300°C or even higher, while others may have more limited temperature ranges.
