THERMISTOR TYPES
Type 1 (Black)
Resistance at 77°F = 10,000 Ohms ± 5%.
Operating range is 185,000 to 650 Ohms. Resistance goes
down as temperature increases. Type 1 does not need to be
calibrated and can be changed without changing other wires
or board.
Type 2 (White)
Resistance at 77°F = 5,000 Ohms ± 5%.
Operating range is 180,000 to 550 Ohms. Resistance goes
down as temperature increases. Type 2 does not need to be
calibrated and can be changed without changing other wires
or board.
