Thermistor

A thermistor is a semiconductor type of resistor in which the resistance is strongly dependent on temperature. The word thermistor is a portmanteau of thermal and resistor. The varying resistance with

A positive-temperature-coefficient heating element, also called a PTC heating element or self-regulating heater, is an electrical resistance heater whose resistance increases significantly with temper
Thermistor
…thermistors are widely used as inrush current limiters and temperature sensors, while PTC thermistors are used as self-resetting overcurrent protectors and self-regulating heating elements. The operational temperature range of a thermistor is dependent on the material and is typically between −100 and 300 °C (−148 and 572 °F). Depending…
