Learn what an RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) is, how it works, and why it's ideal for accurate, reliable temperature measurement in critical applications.
Learn what PTC thermistors are, how they work, and their key applications in temperature sensing, overcurrent protection, and industrial control systems.
Thermistors are THERMally sensitive resISTORS whose electrical resistance varies predictably with their body temperature, making them ideal tools for monitoring and controlling temperature in numerous applications including household and industrial products.
Temperature sensors measure and quantify temperature in materials and internal or external environments.
Although both components are temperature sensors, they operate on different physics principles. Thermistors made of semiconductor materials are ideal for applications demanding precise measurements within the temperature range of about -55C to 300C.
Thermistors are thermally sensitive resistors whose electrical resistance varies predictably with temperature. Thus, they are ideal for monitoring and controlling temperature in household and industrial settings.
