The NTCS-10-5R-3 thermistor manufactured by SR Passives is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor with a through-hole-technology feature that is 10.5mm in size and is rated at 5O. The thermistor has a temperature range of -55°C to 200°C. It is a semiconductor device that exhibits a decrease in resistance with increasing temperature. The thermistor is used mainly in temperature control and sensing applications, such as home appliances and automotive electronics. It can also be used in PC/CNC machine temperature monitoring, over-temperature protection, electronic thermostats and compensation for temperature or humidity.
