_______ 
Thermistors are special solid temperature sensors that behave like temperature-sensitive electrical resistors. Used in a wide variety of process, food and HVAC applications, these general-purpose Thermistors are offered with a choice of elements and insulating materials, providing the user with a range of values and accuracies. Choices in lead wires, sheath materials and terminations are also available.
