A thermistor is a type of temperature sensor. They are very small, relatively cheap and give a very quick response to temperature change.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Thermistors consist of a small bead resistor and two wires which can be connected to an electrical circuit, a change in temperature will mean there is a change in resistance in the resistor which can be detected and measured by the electrical output of the circuit.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Thermistors are very diverse and are often used for voltage regulation, time delays, circuit protection and volume control.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

There are two main types of thermistor; Negative Temperature Coefficient thermistors (NTC) or Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) most of the thermistors which we supply are NTC Thermistors, PTC's are part of our product range also.<\/p>\r\n

With an NTC Thermistor, when the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.<\/p>\r\n

occurred when the temperature decreases, the resistance increases.<\/p>\r\n

A PTC Thermistor works differently; when the temperature increases, the resistance increases and similarly when the temperature decreases, the resistance also decreases.<\/p>\r\n

Thermistor Applications\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n

Due to them being available in a variety of sizes and being simple to use, thermistors are used in a range of applications across different industries\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Thermistor Applications \u2013 Domestic (White Goods)<\/h2>\r\n

Thermistors are very common and you may be surprised to know the amount of appliances within a home environment which use thermistors to monitor and measure temperature. Some of these applications are;\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0Microwaves\/\u00a0<\/strong>Boilers<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 thermistors monitor the internal temperature and ensure it doesn't become too hot<\/p>\r\n

Circuit protector<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 thermistors control surges of power and ensure the correct amount is being pushed through device which are plugged in\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Digital thermometers<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 thermometers often use thermistors as the temperature sensing element as they have a fast response and are accurate.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Thermistor Applications \u2013 Commercial\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n

Vehicle cabin heat \u2013 to ensure the vehicle stays at the correct temperature thermistors are often used\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Manufacturing<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 thermistors are used as a \u201ccircuit breaker\u201d in manufacturing facilities; if the temperature becomes dangerously high the thermistor will cause the circuit to break.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

HVAC refrigeration applications<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 thermistors are used to measure building and control processes. This increases control and efficiency.<\/p>\r\n

3d printers<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 thermistors are used to regulate temperatures as they must be controlled precisely\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Medical applications<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 when precise temperature monitoring is essential, a thermistor is used as it is highly sensitive and will detect if the temperature changes just a tiny amount. They are used for catheters, patient monitoring and dialysis equipment\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Food & Beverage Industry<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 thermistors can be used to monitor the temperatures within the environments of the handling and processing of food\/beverage to ensure it is kept at the correct temperature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
