Choosing the Right Probe for Temperature Sensing

How to select the correct thermistor for a temperature sensor?

When faced with thousands of NTC thermistor types, choosing the right one can be quite overwhelming. In this technical article, I will walk you through some of the important parameters to keep in mind when selecting a thermistor. This is especially true when deciding between the two common types of thermistors used for temperature sensing: negative temperature coefficient NTC thermistors or silicon-based linear thermistors.
