Thermistors are one type of temperature sensor used on electronic control systems. Technicians servicing these control systems need to be able to test the operation and accuracy of these sensors. A ...

This post is a peek into the Beta and Steinhart-Hart equations for representing the resistance vs. temperature relationship in NTC thermistors. As defined by IEC 60539, NTC (Negative Temperature ...

The product is said to be the world’s first to achieve both a resin-moulded design and wire-bonding compatibility in a single thermistor. The integration provides much greater flexibility for ...

In my role as a senior applications/systems engineer supporting analog and digital temperature sensors, I get a lot of questions about temperature sensor applications. Many of them are about the ...

The folks at TOG, Dublin Hackerspace, have a large variac. A variac is a useful device for testing some fault conditions with AC mains powered equipment, it allows an operator to dial in any AC output ...

As discussed in the first article of this two-part series, there are different challenges involved in designing and optimizing thermistor-based application solutions. These are sensor selection and ...

I always find it interesting that 3D printers — at least the kind most of us have — are mostly open-loop devices. You tell the head to move four millimeters in the X direction and you assume that the ...
