a resistor whose resistance varies rapidly and predictably with temperature and as a result can be used to measure temperature
An electronic device that reduces in electrical resistance when its temperature increases
A semiconductor device whose resistance changes (usually decreases) with the temperature in a definite manner Used in circuits to compensate for temperature variations in other components
A semi-conductor electronic device that changes resistance with a change in temperature
a semiconductor device made of materials whose resistance varies as a function of temperature; can be used to compensate for temperature variation in other components of a circuit
a temperature sensor based on the high temperature coefficient of resistance of certain semi-conducing materials See the Thermistor page for details
A TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE PASSIVE SEMICONDUCTOR WHICH EXHIBITS A LARGE CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE WHEN SUBJECTED TO A SMALL CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE USUALLY EXHIBITS A NEGATIVE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT ONLY USED INDUSTRIALLY IN FAIRLY CONSTANT TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS, AS PHOTO BATHS, COPIERS, ETC
A resistive device used for temperature sensing that is composed of metal oxides formed into a bead and encapsulated in epoxy or glass A typical thermistor has a positive temperature coefficient; that is, resistance increases dramatically and non-linearly with temperature Though less common, there are negative temperature coefficient thermistors
An electrical resistor composed of semiconductor material, whose resistance is a known rapidly varying function of temperature
a resistor whose resistance changes with temperature Because of the known dependence of resistance on temperature, the resistor can be used as a temperature sensor
A resistive circuit component having a high negative temperature coefficient of resistance, so that its resistance decreases as temperature increases Made of a rugged two-terminal ceramic-like semiconductor bead, rod or disk The term is derived from "thermal resistance"
A semiconductor temperature sensor that exhibits a repeatable change in electrical resistance as a function of temperature Generally thermistors exhibit a negative temperature coefficient, where resistance decreases as temperature rises Also referred to as NTC thermistors
a temperature-sensing element which exhibits a large change in resistance proportional to a small change in temperature Thermistors usually have negative temperature coefficients Often used as a temperature controlled in a dryer
A temperature transducer constructed from semiconductor material and for which temperature is converted into a resistance, usually with negative slope and highly nonlinear Its usual applications are as a nonlinear circuit element (either alone or in combination with a heater), as a temperature compensator in a measurement circuit, or as a temperature measurement element
A temperature-sensing element composed of sintered semiconductor material which exhibits a large change in resistance proportional to a small change in temperature Thermistors usually have negative temperature coefficients
