An NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance decreases as the temperature increases. The 100k Beta 3950 model is widely used in temperature measurement applications, such as in 3D printers and Arduino projects.
This sensor measures the temperature in a heating block of an extruder in a 3D printer and it is used to control the extrusion temperature of the filament.
Main Features:
- Resistance at 25°C: 100kΩ
- Beta Coefficient: 3950K (indicates the relationship between resistance and temperature)
- Measurement Range: -40°C to 300°C
- Accuracy: ±1%
- Typical Dissipation: 5mW/°C
: Approximately 1.25mm
Cable Length: Generally 1 meter, with Teflon insulation for greater durability.
Without plug
Common Applications:
3D Printers: Used to monitor and control the temperature of the heated bed and hotend.
Arduino Projects: Ideal for measuring ambient temperature or specific components.
Compatible with the following blocks, for example:
Compatible with Terminals whose designation is 2 pins.
: Anet A8, Ender 3, Ender 5, Anycubic, etc.
