Detailed Description:

The 10K NTC Thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensor, meaning its resistance decreases as temperature increases. With a nominal resistance of 10K Ohms at 25°C, it is widely used for accurate temperature sensing in Arduino-based projects, battery management systems, 3D printers, HVAC units, and consumer electronics.

Its small size and fast response make it suitable for embedded designs and analog circuits. The sensor is easy to interface with microcontrollers, allowing you to read temperature data using an ADC (analog-to-digital converter).

Key Features:

• 10KΩ resistance at 25°C

• NTC type – resistance decreases with rising temperature

• Compact and lightweight

• Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, etc.

• Can be used with voltage divider circuit for ADC input

• Fast response time and high sensitivity

• Wide temperature range sensing

• Cost-effective for multiple sensing points

Technical Specifications:

How to Use:

1. Connect one leg to VCC (3.3V or 5V)

2. Connect the second leg to a voltage divider resistor (typically 10K)

3. Read the voltage across the thermistor using Arduino's analog pin

4. Use a formula or library to convert ADC value to temperature

5. Add thermal paste or a casing if mounting to surfaces

Applications:

• Arduino and ESP32 temperature sensors

• 3D printer hotend/bed temperature sensing

• Battery pack thermal protection

• Home appliances (fridge, AC, fans)

• HVAC control systems

• Power supply thermal monitoring

• Smart thermostats and IoT devices

Package Includes:

• 1 × 10K NTC Thermistor (Radial Type)
