NTC Thermistors are rugged, reliable, and stable, and they are equipped to handle extreme environmental conditions and noise immunity more so than other types of temperature sensors.

• Compact size: Packaging options allow them?to operate in small or tight spaces; thereby taking up less real estate on printed circuit boards.
• Fast response time: The small dimensions allow for a quick response to changes in temperature, which is important when immediate feedback is required.
• Cost efficient: Not only are thermistors less expensive than other types of temperature sensors; if the purchased thermistor has the correct RT curve, no other calibration is necessary during installation or over its operational life.
• Point match: The ability to obtain a specific resistance at a particular temperature.
• Curve match: Interchangeable thermistors with the accuracy of +0.1?C to + 0.2?C.
  

  General Selection Considerations

  Whether installing a new system or just replacing a device in an existing system, you should consider these key points before you make your selection to ensure the desired outcome.

  1. Base Resistance: If you?re installing a new application, be sure to select the right base resistance based on your application requirements. If you are replacing a thermistor, be sure to match the current base resistance.
  2. Resistance vs. Temperature Curve: If you are installing a new application, determine the correct resistance vs. temperature curve relationship. If you are replacing a device, be sure to match the information from the existing thermistor.
  3. Thermistor Packaging: Make sure the selected packaging accommodates your application requirements.
