10K 3950 Water Tank Temperature Sensor

Product Description:

This water tank temperature sensor typically refers to a specific type of NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor.

10K indicates the nominal resistance of the thermistor at a standard temperature, usually 25°C (77°F). In this case, it signifies that the resistance of the thermistor at 25°C is approximately 10,000 ohms.

3950 refers to the Beta (β) value of the thermistor. The Beta value is a parameter that describes the characteristic curve of the thermistor. Specifically, it indicates how the resistance of the thermistor changes with temperature. A Beta value of 3950 means that the resistance of the thermistor changes by a factor of 3950 over a specific temperature range.

A "10K 3950" thermistor is a common type used in temperature sensing applications such as temperature measurement of water tank. The resistance decreases as the temperature increases, following a curve defined by the Beta value.

As for its application in a water tank, it would typically be used for temperature monitoring and control. It could be embedded within the tank to measure the temperature of the water, providing data that can be used for various purposes such as controlling heating elements, ensuring optimal operating conditions, or triggering alarms if temperatures exceed certain thresholds.
