NTC is an acronym for Negative Temperature Coefficient. An NTC thermistor is a temperature sensor that uses the resistance properties of ceramic/metal composites to measure the temperature. Our full spectrum NTC sensors offer many advantages in temperature sensing including miniature size, excellent long-term stability, high accuracy and precision.
Typical Applications
NTC thermistors are used in a wide variety of applications:
- The medical industry relies on NTC's in various applications including catheters, dialysis equipment, and patient monitoring.
- Appliances from dryers to coffee makers use NTC thermistors to accurately measure temperature.
- HVAC and refrigeration equipment use NTC sensors to measure temperature in building controls and processes, resulting in increased efficiency and control.
- Automotive and aerospace industries use NTC thermistors for test and measurement as well as production applications.
