10K Ohm NTC Thermistor This Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) Thermistor varies in resistance according to temperature. It is a simple way to measure air temperature or the temperature of an adjacent device or surface. The resistance is 10K Ohms at 30°C and decreases as temperature increases. It is extremely easy to interface to the analog input pins on an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other microcontroller (PIC, AVR, etc.), as well as an easy device to use in analog circuits.

Brief Description
a thermistor is an electronic component used to calculate the temperature. This is a type of resistor whose resistance varies with change in temperature. These NTC thermistors are made up of a combination of metal oxides that pass through a sintering process which gives a negative electrical resistance versus temperature (R/T) relationship to it. Due to having a large negative slope, a small change in temperature causes a huge change in electrical resistance.
There are two types of thermistors; one is NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) and the second one is PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient). If the thermistor is NTC type, then it decreases the resistance as an increase in temperature, and PTC behavior is just opposite to the NTC. A thermistor is connected to any electrical circuit to measure the temperature of the body or the substance. This thermistor’s operating temperature range is -55 °C to 125 °C, the range of the temperature depends upon the base resistance.
