Product Overview
The thermistor on board (100-100K ohm) is engineered for precise temperature detection with rapid response times. Constructed from high-quality ceramic material and encapsulated in a protective epoxy coating, it ensures long-term stability and resistance to environmental factors like moisture and dust. The NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) design allows resistance to decrease predictably as temperature rises, making it ideal for applications requiring tight thermal control. Its compact form factor enables seamless integration into PCBs, sensors, and control systems. The wide resistance range (100Ω to 100KΩ) accommodates diverse circuit requirements, from low-power devices to industrial-grade equipment. Designed for reliability, this thermistor board minimizes thermal hysteresis, ensuring consistent performance across repeated cycles. Whether used in feedback loops, overheat protection, or calibration systems, its linear characteristics simplify circuit design while maintaining accuracy. The robust construction and broad operating range make it a versatile choice for engineers, hobbyists, and researchers seeking dependable thermal management solutions.
FAQs
1. What is the typical response time of this thermistor board?
The response time varies based on the surrounding medium but generally ranges between 5 to 30 seconds in air, ensuring quick temperature tracking for most applications.
2. Can this thermistor be used in high-humidity environments?
Yes, the epoxy coating provides adequate protection against humidity, but prolonged exposure to condensation or liquid immersion should be avoided to prevent long-term degradation.
3. How does the resistance range affect compatibility with my circuit?
The 100Ω to 100KΩ range allows flexibility in circuit design. Lower resistances (e.g., 100Ω) are suited for high-current applications, while higher values (e.g., 100KΩ) work better in low-power, high-sensitivity setups.
4. Is this thermistor suitable for automotive temperature sensing?
While it can measure temperatures in automotive environments, ensure the operating range matches your specific requirements, as extreme vibrations or temperatures beyond the rated limits may affect performance.
5. What alternatives exist if I need a faster response time?
For faster response, consider bare thermistor beads or thin-film variants, though they may compromise durability. Always verify the trade-offs between speed, accuracy, and environmental resistance for your use case.
