Temperature Range | Enter the temperature range needed to measure. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

Resistance (@25°C) | |||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
![]() | |||
Minimum Accuracy | The accuracy you require of the device. The standard thermistor is called "Point-Matched" which means their accuracy is given as how well reference temperatures match at a single temperature point. | ||
Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value. | ||

![]() | ||
'High Temperature' Rating | 'High' temperature rating (designated by the manufacturer). | ||
Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
![]() | |||
'Low Temperature' Rating | 'Low' temperature rating (designated by the manufacturer). | ||
Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
![]() | |||
Interchangeable | Interchangeable thermistors match over their entire resistance/temperature curves. This means they can be interchanged without having to recalibrate sensing circuitry. | ||
Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
![]() | |||
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) | Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) are the most common type of thermistor available. If you require a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) choose this specification. | ||
Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
