About the 10K Bead Type NTC Thermistor
The 10K bead type NTC thermistor is a miniature glass-encapsulated temperature sensor with a nominal resistance of 10,000 ohms at 25°C. The term "bead type" refers to the small glass bead that encapsulates the sensing element — unlike disc or epoxy types, the glass bead construction gives faster thermal response, superior chemical resistance, and suitability for direct liquid immersion.
Why Choose a 10K Bead Type Thermistor?
The 10K bead thermistor is preferred in applications requiring fast, accurate temperature readings in a compact footprint. Its glass encapsulation protects the sensing element from moisture and chemicals, making it ideal for liquid temperature sensing, medical devices, and precision instrumentation.
- Faster thermal response than disc / epoxy NTC thermistors
- Compatible with standard 10K NTC lookup tables and Steinhart-Hart equations
- Directly usable with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi via voltage divider
- Interchangeable with other 10K NTC thermistors in most circuits
How to Use a 10K Bead Type NTC Thermistor with Arduino
Connect the bead type thermistor in series with a 10K resistor between VCC and GND. Read the midpoint voltage on an analog pin. Convert using the Steinhart-Hart equation or the Beta equation with B=3435, R0=10000, T0=298.15K. Many Arduino libraries support this directly.
