  • Resistance at 25°C: 10K ±1%
  • B25/50: 3950 ±1%
  • Thermal time constant ? 15 seconds
  • Thermistor temperature range -55°C to 125°C
  • Wire temperature range -55°C to 105°C
  • 28 AWG PVC Wire
  • Diameter: 3.5mm/0.13in
  • Length: 18in/45cm

Note that even though the thermistor can go up to 125°C the cable itself maxes out at 105°C so this thermistor is not good for measuring very very hot liquids


Wiring

We can use a simple voltage divider circuit to measure the voltage across the thermistor.

Vout = Rt / (Rt + Rs) * Vin


Say the fixed resistor is 10K and the variable resistor is called R - the voltage output (Vo) is:

Vout = Rt / (Rt + 10K) * Vin

Remember that when you measure a voltage (Vi) into an Arduino ADC, you'll get a number.

ADC value = Vi * 1023 / Varef
