Component Name

500E Cermet (Pack of 5)

Description

The 500E Cermet is a high-quality, compact thermistor-based temperature sensor designed for accurate and reliable temperature measurement in various IoT applications. This pack of 5 sensors offers a cost-effective solution for implementing multiple temperature sensing points in a single device or across multiple devices.

Functionality

The 500E Cermet thermistor is a passive temperature sensor that changes its electrical resistance in response to changes in temperature. It operates on the principle of thermal resistance, where an increase in temperature causes a decrease in resistance, and vice versa. The sensor is typically connected to a microcontroller or other electronic device, which measures the resistance change to calculate the corresponding temperature value.

Key Features

  • Fast Response Time: The sensor has a fast response time, allowing it to quickly adapt to changes in temperature.
  • Compact Size: The 500E Cermet has a compact design, making it easy to integrate into small devices or tight spaces.
  • Low Power Consumption: The sensor operates at a low power consumption level, minimizing the current drain on the connected device.
  • Long-Term Reliability: The 500E Cermet thermistor is designed to provide long-term reliability, with a typical lifespan of 10,000 hours or more.

Additional Information

The 500E Cermet thermistor is a NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) type thermistor, meaning its resistance decreases as the temperature increases.

The sensor is typically connected to a voltage source and a pull-up resistor to form a voltage divider circuit, which allows the connected device to measure the resistance change and calculate the temperature.

The 500E Cermet thermistor is RoHS and REACH compliant, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications.
