Thermistors and thermocouples are two such temperature sensors. NTC thermistors weigh in to be an excellent choice for your temperature sensing solutions for their overall performance and cost-effectiveness. A thermistor is a thermally sensitive resistor that exhibits a continuous, small, incremental change in resistance correlated to temperature variations. Thermocouples reflect proportional changes in temperature through the varying voltage created between two dissimilar metals electrically bonded together. Both are good options for temperature sensing and control. Choosing the best option depends on the type and specifications of the application.
