SUMMARY
When selecting a thermistor for a heat detector project, key factors include the thermistor's resistance range, temperature coefficient, and response time. Typical resistance values for thermistors can vary widely, often ranging from 1kΩ to 100kΩ at room temperature. Understanding the specific application requirements, such as the operating temperature range and circuit configuration, is essential for optimal performance.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding thermistor types (NTC and PTC)
- Basic knowledge of circuit design and components
