Temperature Sensors – NTC Thermistors

NTC thermistors are commonly used temperature sensors due to their wide range of operating temperature, high accuracy, and stability. The Type MF58303F3950 NTC thermistor is a temperature sensor from JWD which is capable of a wide range of applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the MF58303F3950 NTC thermistor.

Application Field

The MF58303F3950 is a type of NTC thermistor which is suitable for use in a variety of applications. This type of thermistor is most commonly used to measure temperature in air-conditioning and ventilation equipment. It is also suitable for use in various industrial automation processes, environmental monitoring systems, medical devices, and home appliances. The thermistor is suitable for use in low- and medium-power applications where the temperatures should not exceed 250°C.

Working Principle

The MF58303F3950 thermistor is a type of device which is capable of sensing temperature and converting it to an electrical signal through a variation of resistance. This thermistor device works by making use of a material whose electrical resistance is temperature dependent. The material used in the thermistor is an organic semiconductor material. When the temperature changes, the material undergoes a change in its electrical resistance, and this in turn causes the output voltage of the device to change. The thermistor is able to accurately measure temperatures due to the use of this special material which has a linear relationship between temperature and resistance.

The resistance of the thermistor is measured using the Wheatstone Bridge circuit. In this circuit, the thermistor is connected in series with two other resistors. When the temperature changes, the resistance of the thermistor also changes, and this in turn causes the output voltage of the bridge circuit to change. The output voltage is then used to calculate the temperature. This type of thermistor is also capable of measuring other parameters such as humidity, pressure, and light intensity.
