Thermistors
Change resistance with a change in temperature. Wide range of resistance values & temperatures, packages styles & sizes.
Thermistors change resistance with a change in temperature. They do not amplify, rectify, polarize or generate a signal. The thermistor temperature may be changed by the surrounding temperature or by self-heating the thermistor by passing a current through it.
Most applications such as temperature measurement and control or copper coil compensation require that the power dispersed in a thermistor be kept to a minimum so as not to perceptibly self-heat the thermistor. Other applications depend entirely on the self-heating effect.
