Thermistors are thermally-sensitive devices whose electrical resistance varies with temperature. Unlike RTDs and thermocouples, thermistors do not have standards associated with their resistance vs.

Thermistor temperature probes sense temperature by using thermistors, devices made of semiconductor materials which exhibit a large change in resistance for a small change in temperature. There are ...

An example is a filament lamp. As current increases, the filament gets hotter and the resistance of the bulb increases. A thermistor is a device that’s resistance changes with temperature.

Thermistor is a portmanteau of the words thermal and resistor. As the name suggests, thermistors are semiconductors whose resistance depends upon their temperature. Without getting too much into the ...
