The difference between 10K and 100K thermistors

NTC thermistors have small volume, large power, long life, high reliability, wide working range, strong ability to suppress inrush current, fast response speed, etc. The superior performance has won the favor of many users. So what is the difference between 10K and 100K thermistors?

The difference between NTC thermistors 10K and 100K is mainly three aspects

1) Different temperature

10K NTC thermistors are mainly used in low temperature product applications, generally below 80 ° C, while 100K ntc thermistors are generally used in high temperature product applications, generally in high temperature environments of 100-250 ° C.

2) Different manufacturing materials

10K ntc thermistors are normally encapsulated with epoxy resin, while 100K NTC thermistors are sealed with glass to ensure stable use in high temperature environments.

3) Different resistance values

At a temperature of 25 ° C, the nominal resistance of a 10K NTC thermistor is called 10KΩ, and the common B value is 3435K; the nominal resistance of a 100K NTC thermistor is 100KΩ, and the common B value is 3950K.

Whether it is an NTC thermistor or a PTC thermistor, we must understand the relevant when choosing, and choosing a regular product can avoid unnecessary trouble. If you have technical questions, please contact us and try our best to solve the problem for you.
