The term "Thermistor" is used to describe devices whose electrical resistance varies as a function of their temperature. Ceramic thermistors are further classified as devices with a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC Thermistors) whose resistance increases as temperature increases and devices with a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC Thermistors) whose resistance decreases as temperature decreases.

For the sectors listed above NTC thermistors are the most versatile and cost-effective temperature sensors in terms of satisfying typical selection criteria and in terms of inherent advantages over other sensor types, such as IC's and RTD's. BetaTHERM's NTC (negative temperature co-efficient) thermistors offer many advantages in the area of temperature sensing. These include the sensitive measurement of temperature change (-3% to -6% change in resistance per 1°C increase in temperature), the small size of the thermistor chip and the high degree of Interchangeability offered by the component.
