Thermistor PTC 1.0K

The Thermistor PTC 1.0K is a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor with a nominal resistance of 1.0 kΩ. Its resistance rises as its temperature rises, so an Arduino, ESP32 or comparator circuit can read it as a temperature-dependent resistor. It is a simple, low-cost part for temperature sensing, over-temperature detection and electronics lessons.

Thermistor PTC 1.0K Specifications

• Type: PTC thermistor (positive temperature coefficient)
• Nominal resistance: 1.0 kΩ (thermistors are normally rated at 25 °C)
• Behaviour: resistance increases as temperature increases
• Connection: 2 leads, no polarity
• Reading: analog, through a voltage divider or bridge circuit

Thermistor PTC 1.0K Applications

• Temperature measurement with an Arduino or ESP32 analog input
• Over-temperature detection in power supplies, motors and battery packs
• Thermostat and fan control circuits
• Temperature compensation in analog circuits
• Physics and electronics lab experiments

What's in the Box

• 1 × PTC thermistor, 1.0 kΩ

Tip: Connect the thermistor in series with a fixed 1 kΩ resistor between 5 V (or 3.3 V) and GND and read the midpoint with an analog pin. Keep the current low so the thermistor does not heat itself, and calibrate your readings against a known thermometer.
