A thermistor, or thermally sensitive resistor, is a resistor which changes resistance in response to a change in temperature. There are two basic types of thermistors, NTC or Negative Temperature Coefficient and PTC or Positive Temperature Coefficient thermistors. NTC thermistors exhibit a decrease in resistance when temperature rises. PTC thermistors exhibit an increase in resistance when temperature rises. QTI manufacturers both PTC and NTC thermistors in a broad selection of package styles and resistance values.
![]() IP68 - Waterproof Temperature SensorsQTI’s Hydroguard IP68 Series of parts are designed to offer excellent performance during harsh freeze thaw cycles. Our over molded probes are a great solution where waterproof and moisture resistance is critical. |
![]() USB Data LoggerQTI combines a precision thermistor with an easy to use USB interface. The DirecTemp probe comes standard with 0.1°C accuracy (0°C to 100°C) and will log real-time temperature sensing information directly to your computer. It will also send an alert when the temperature track exceeds your custom set control limits. NIST traceable calibration certificate available. |
