Thermistors

CTS thermistors are temperature sensors using the variable electrical resistances of their semiconductor resistor elements to determine temperature. Typically employing a ceramic resistor element, the electrical resistance of thermistors varies greatly over temperature, meaning that even slight changes will be registered and measurable. Based on either the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) where the resistance increases with rising temperatures, or the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) where the resistance decreases as temperatures rise, thermistors are a cost-effective and highly customizable means of temperature sensing. They posses great sensitivity, fast response times and excel at measurements in a multitude of applications operating in a moderate and clearly defined temperature spectrum. 

Thermistors from CTS come with customization options for resistor material, size, tolerances, temperature range, coating and assembly, ensuring a product that will fit your exact specifications.
