Thermistor NTC 10K SEN22

Description A Thermistor NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) 10K is a type of temperature sensor that uses a material with a negative temperature coefficient of resistance to measure temperature changes. This means that as the temperature increases, the resistance of the thermistor decreases, and vice versa. The “10K” in the name refers to the nominal resistance value of the thermistor at a specific temperature, typically 25°C. This means that at this temperature, the thermistor will have a resistance of 10,000 ohms. Thermistor NTC 10Ks are commonly used in temperature sensing and control applications, such as in thermostats, HVAC systems, and temperature probes. They are often used as part of a voltage divider circuit, where the resistance of the thermistor changes the output voltage of the circuit in proportion to the temperature change. Thermistor NTC 10Ks are relatively inexpensive and provide accurate temperature measurements over a wide temperature range. They are also relatively small in size and can be easily integrated into electronic circuits. However, they do require calibration to ensure accurate temperature readings and can be affected by self-heating
