Technical Characteristics
Resistance vs Temperature
The resistance follows the standard NTC thermistor equation: R(T) = R₀ × e^(B × (1/T - 1/T₀))
Where:
- R₀ = 10kΩ at T₀ = 25°C (298.15K)
- B = 3380K
- T = Temperature in Kelvin
Typical Resistance Values
| Temperature (°C) | Resistance (Ω) |
|---|---|
| -40°C | ~195kΩ |
| 0°C | ~32.7kΩ |
| 25°C | 10kΩ |
| 50°C | ~3.6kΩ |
| 85°C | ~1.2kΩ |
| 125°C | ~0.5kΩ |
