Pin Configuration

  • Component Overview
  • The 3D Printer Temperature Detection Resistance NTC100K Thermistor Sensor Parts Hot Probe High for Temperature Version (1 meter) is a thermistor-based temperature sensor designed for 3D printing applications. It measures temperature changes with high accuracy and precision, making it an essential component for maintaining optimal printing conditions.
  • Pinout Explanation
  • The thermistor sensor has two pins, which are:
  • Pin 1:
  • Function: Signal Output
  • Description: This pin outputs a varying resistance value in response to changes in temperature. The resistance decreases as the temperature increases.
  • Pin 2:
  • Function: Ground
  • Description: This pin serves as the ground connection for the thermistor sensor. It should be connected to the ground of the microcontroller or the power supply.
  • Connection Structure:
  • To connect the thermistor sensor to a microcontroller or a 3D printer's temperature control board, follow these steps:
  • Step 1:
  • Connect Pin 1 (Signal Output) to an analog input pin on the microcontroller or the temperature control board. This pin will read the varying resistance value from the thermistor sensor.
  • Step 2:
  • Connect Pin 2 (Ground) to the ground pin on the microcontroller or the temperature control board. This ensures a stable reference point for the sensor's output signal.
  • Step 3:
  • If using a pull-up resistor, connect one end to Pin 1 (Signal Output) and the other end to the power supply's VCC (e.g., 5V or 3.3V). The recommended pull-up resistor value is 4.7k to 10k. The pull-up resistor helps to stabilize the output signal and improve measurement accuracy.
  • Step 4:
  • Connect the power supply's VCC (e.g., 5V or 3.3V) to the microcontroller or temperature control board's VCC pin. Ensure the power supply's voltage rating matches the microcontroller or temperature control board's specifications.
  • Important Notes:
  • It is crucial to use a suitable ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) or a dedicated thermistor input on the microcontroller to accurately measure the temperature.
  • The thermistor sensor should be connected to a stable power supply to ensure accurate temperature readings.
  • Avoid exposing the thermistor sensor to extreme temperatures, humidity, or mechanical stress, as this may affect its accuracy and lifespan.
  • By following these connection guidelines, you can accurately measure temperatures using the 3D Printer Temperature Detection Resistance NTC100K Thermistor Sensor Parts Hot Probe High for Temperature Version (1 meter) and maintain optimal printing conditions for your 3D printing projects.
