How do you calculate NTC thermistor resistance?
The percent resistance tolerance is determined by multiplying the specified temperature tolerance by the NTC of the thermistor at the given temperature point. NTC (%/°C) × Temperature Tolerance (± °C) = ± % Resistance Tolerance.
How many ohms should a thermistor be?
For example, if the specified resistance at 25°C for a thermistor with 10% tolerance is 10,000 ohms then the measured resistance at that temperature can range from 9,000 ohms to 11000 ohms….Thermistors/Temperature Measurement with NTC Thermistors.

What are NTC thermistors used for?
NTC thermistors are used as ICLs (inrush current limiters) to protect circuits of electrical and electronic devices against inrush currents easily and effectively.
Which is better NTC or PTC?
The NTC thermistor provides variable resistance based on temperature. As temperature increases, the resistance drops from high to low and allows current to pass through. For an NTC thermistor, as temperature increases, resistance decreases. For a PTC thermistor as temperature increases, resistance increases.
Are thermistors more accurate than RTDS?
The accuracy of the RTD is low as compared to the thermistor. The thermistor gives a quick response to the small changes, whereas the response time of the RTD is slow. The thermistor is used for measuring the small range of temperature (between -55°C and + 114°C) whereas the RTD measures the temperature up to 850ºC.
What is an NTC temperature sensor?
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.
How do you test a 10K thermistor?
Heat the soldering iron. Heat the thermistor by moving your heated soldering iron tip to it. Note the multimeter reading as you are applying this heat. A properly functioning positive temperature coefficient thermistor will show a smooth and steady increase in the multimeter resistance reading.
