NTC Thermistor Basics
Q: How fast do NTCs respond?
A: Response time is defined as the time it takes to reach 62% or a new temperature, and is a function of mass. The smaller the sensor the faster the response. A discrete sensor will respond faster than the same sensor packaged insider a metal housing. Typical response times for a Series I NTC thermistor sensor is less than 15 seconds.

Q: Are NTCs avaliable in a small size?
A: Typical size for an epoxy coated discrete in an OD of 0.95'' Max. Miniature glass sensors have a max. OD of 0.15''.

Q: How stable are NTC sensors?
A: Different sensor families have different stability ratings. Epoxy coated NTCs are less stable than a hermetically sealed glass NTC sensors.

Q: How to select a resistance value for an application?
A: The rule of thumb to use a low resistance sensor for a low temperature application and a high resistance sensor in a high temperature application. The goal is to have a working resistance value in your temperature range of interest.

Q: Can NTCs be used in cryogenic applications?
A: Yes, but accuracy at -200ºC would be based on mathematical modeling.

Q: What is the price range for NTCs?
A: Pricing is based on cost, which is related to yield. 
    The tighter the accuracy the lower the yield.
