Frequently Asked Questions
What does “10k” mean in a 10k thermistor?
"10k" denotes the resistance value of the thermistor — 10,000 ohms at 25°C. This is a common reference point for manufacturers and engineers.
Is a 10k thermistor NTC or PTC?
Most 10k thermistors are NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient), meaning resistance decreases as temperature increases.
How accurate are ZENTRIAD 10k thermistor sensors?
Accuracy typically ranges from ±0.2°C to ±1°C depending on model, calibration and housing. Custom calibration is available for higher-precision needs.
Can I use a 10k thermistor for automotive applications?
Yes. ZENTRIAD produces automotive-grade variants with proper materials and housings suitable for EVs, battery monitoring and environmental sensors.
