10kΩ NTC Thermistor Thermal Resistor (NTC-MF52AT)

Overview: 10kΩ NTC Thermistor (NTC-MF52AT)

The 10kΩ NTC Thermistor Thermal Resistor (NTC-MF52AT) is a precision temperature sensor designed for accurate thermal monitoring and control. As an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor, its resistance decreases as temperature increases, providing a simple, reliable method for temperature measurement across many electronic and electromechanical systems.

Why choose the NTC-MF52AT?

• Standard resistance of 10kΩ at 25°C for compatibility with common circuits and microcontroller ADCs.
• Compact epoxy-coated bead construction for quick thermal coupling and protection from environmental factors.
• High sensitivity and repeatability for stable readings over time.

Integration and Usage Tips

• Use as part of a voltage divider to read temperature with an ADC on microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, etc.).
• Combine with calibration data or the Steinhart-Hart equation for higher accuracy temperature conversion.
• Place the bead in good thermal contact with the measured surface for best response time; avoid thermal isolation by adhesive or air gaps.
• Protect leads from mechanical stress and soldering heat; follow recommended soldering practices to avoid damaging the thermistor.

Ordering and Packaging

Available in single units or bulk quantities for production use. This thermistor is a cost-effective choice for designers and hobbyists who need dependable temperature sensing with straightforward integration.

Technical Notes

For precision applications, refer to the thermistor datasheet for beta value (β), tolerance, and temperature-resistance curves. Use proper compensation and calibration when designing temperature-measurement circuits to account for non-linear NTC behavior.
