10K Ohm NTC Thermistor (5mm)

Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) Sensing: Resistance predictably decreases as temperature rises, delivering fast thermal responsiveness for precise temperature monitoring.

Standard 10k Ω Base Resistance: Calibrated to a standard nominal resistance of 10 kΩ at +25°C (R_25 = 10 kΩ), ensuring seamless compatibility with standard ADC voltage divider circuits.

Compact 5mm Radial Bead Form Factor: Encapsulated in a durable 5 mm epoxy bead with flexible through-hole leads for tight PCB layouts, breadboards, and remote thermal probes.

High Thermal Sensitivity & Accuracy: Delivers high temperature coefficient sensitivity for detecting subtle micro-thermal changes across a broad monitoring range.

Low-Cost Analog Temperature Sensing: Provides an economical, dependable solution for temperature measurement without needing complex digital communications protocols.

Housing Material: Black protective epoxy resin head coating with tin-plated copper through-hole radial leads.

Technical Specifications:

Sensor Type: NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) Thermistor.

Nominal Resistance (R_25): 10 kΩ -+ 1% at +25°C.

Head Diameter: 5 mm.

Operating Temperature Range: -55°C – +125°C.

Mounting Style: Through-hole (THT) / Radial Leads.

Usage Advice: Place in a series voltage divider configuration with a fixed 10kΩ resistor to feed clean analog voltage readings to microcontrollers; use the Steinhart-Hart equation or B-parameter formula in code to convert analog voltage into Celsius.

Maintenance: Ensure physical lead connections remain free of oxidation; avoid direct immersion in liquid or harsh chemical environments without protective thermal sleeving or heat-shrink casing.

Essential Component for DIY & Industrial Electronics: Position as a fundamental, highly accurate thermal monitoring element for 3D printer heatbeds, battery pack protection circuits, HVAC thermostats, and home automation nodes.

Highlight Voltage Divider Simplicity: Emphasize how easy it is to pair with any microcontroller ADC input using a simple resistor network.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with 10K Precision Metal Head Thermistor - 3950 NTC, 3PIN NTC Thermistor Temperature Sensor Module, 4PIN NTC Thermistor Temperature Sensor Module, and ESD antistatic mat 50x40CM PCB Welding Mat.
