(4 pc lot) air temperature sensor thermistor for fans
NOTE: Operating Principle of NTC Thermistors
NTC thermistors are semiconductor ceramics made with various metal oxides. Their electrical resistance decreases with increasing temperature. This resistance is processed by an electronic circuit to provide temperature measurement. While a bimetallic thermostat provides both temperature sensing and electrical circuit control, the thermistor itself does not provide any control over heating elements, relays, etc. The thermistor is strictly a sensor and any electrical control would need to be implemented by the circuit utilzing the
