Temperature Sensors

Temperature sensors are devices that detect and measure coolness and hotness and convert it into an electrical signal. Temperature sensors are utilized in our daily lives, be it in the form of domestic water heaters...

Thermistors

Thermistors

A thermistor, a shortened version of the term thermal resistor, is a passive component whose resistance changes as the temperature in a system changes. Thus they serve as an inexpensive, accurate, and dynamic method for measuring temperature...

Thermocouples

Thermocouples

A thermocouple is a transducer that converts thermal energy into electrical energy and is constructed by joining wires made from dissimilar metals to form a junction. Voltage is produced when the temperature at the junction changes...
