Description

This sensor utilizes a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor, where electrical resistance decreases predictably with rising temperature. The B3950 10K specification indicates a base resistance of 10kΩ at 25°C, offering a non-linear but highly sensitive response curve ideal for precise temperature control and monitoring applications. The stainless steel probe housing provides mechanical durability and protection against moisture and chemical exposure.

The included 4-meter cable with a standard XH2.54 connector allows for straightforward connection to data acquisition systems, microcontroller ADCs (like those on Arduino or Raspberry Pi), or industrial PLC analog input modules. Accurate temperature conversion requires using the specific Steinhart-Hart coefficients or a lookup table for the B3950 thermistor, which are typically provided in the component’s datasheet.

Key Features

  • Precision NTC Thermistor: B3950 10K type with ±1% resistance tolerance ensures reliable and repeatable temperature readings.
  • Robust Stainless Steel Construction: The 5mm diameter by 25mm long probe sheath offers excellent durability and resistance to environmental factors.
  • Extended Reach Connectivity: A full 4-meter long cable with a polarized XH2.54 connector provides installation flexibility.
  • Optimized Thermal Performance: Low dissipation constant (5mW/°C) reduces measurement error caused by sensor self-heating.
  • High Electrical Insulation: Probe insulation resistance greater than 100 MΩ ensures signal integrity and safety.
  • Broad Application Range: Suitable for monitoring temperatures from -20°C to +105°C in air, liquids, or surface contact scenarios.

Applications

  • HVAC system temperature monitoring and control for air handlers and ductwork.
  • Industrial process control for tank liquid temperature measurement.
  • DIY electronics projects requiring precise environmental temperature sensing with Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
  • Aquarium, hydroponic, or agricultural climate monitoring systems.
  • Battery pack or power electronics thermal management and protection circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this NTC thermistor sensor?

The sensor itself is a passive resistive component and does not have a specific operating voltage. It is typically used in a voltage divider circuit with a known reference resistor. The supply voltage for the divider should be within the limits of your measurement system (e.g., 3.3V or 5V for microcontrollers). Ensure the power dissipation in the thermistor does not exceed its rating to avoid self-heating errors.

How do I connect and read the temperature with an Arduino?

Connect one wire of the thermistor to an analog input pin (e.g., A0) and the other to ground, placing a 10kΩ reference resistor between the analog pin and your board's 5V or 3.3V supply. Use the analogRead() function to measure the voltage divider output. You must then convert the ADC value to temperature using the Steinhart-Hart equation with the specific B3950 coefficients or a pre-calculated lookup table, as the response is non-linear.

Can this sensor be used in liquids or outdoors?

The stainless steel probe sheath provides good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for immersion in non-corrosive liquids and outdoor use. However, the cable and connector junction (XH2.54) are not waterproof. For permanent outdoor or wet environment installation, you must properly seal the connector interface. The operating range is -20°C to 105°C, covering most ambient and many liquid temperature scenarios.
