10K Precision Epoxy Thermistor is a 1% accuracy NTC temperature sensor designed for reliable temperature measurement in damp environments, including outdoor exposure and liquid-contact applications. The epoxy-coated sensing bead helps protect the sensor body, making it a practical choice for water lines, HVAC monitoring, environmental sensing, and other projects where moisture is a concern.
As an NTC thermistor, its resistance decreases as temperature rises and increases as temperature falls. At 25°C, the nominal resistance is 10KΩ ±1%. Thermistors are popular in embedded and control projects because they are simple to interface, work with resistor-divider circuits, and can be read using the analog input of common microcontrollers such as Arduino and CircuitPython-compatible boards.
This sensor is well suited for basic temperature feedback and measurement tasks, and can achieve high accuracy when paired with a good analog converter and the correct temperature-to-resistance lookup data. Note: the PVC-insulated leads are rated only up to 105°C, so this thermistor is not intended for very hot surfaces or high-temperature liquid measurement.

This thermistor is a good fit for temperature logging, weather-exposed builds, liquid temperature sensing, and simple thermal control loops. Because it behaves like a resistor, it is easy to include in a voltage divider and measure using a standard ADC input without needing a thermocouple amplifier.
For accurate temperature conversion, use the appropriate resistance-to-temperature table or calibration method in your firmware. The included matching resistor can be used in a resistor divider or as part of a calibration setup.
Important: suitable for damp environments and liquids, but not for very high-temperature applications.
This is a 10K NTC thermistor with a 3950 beta value. Its resistance decreases as temperature rises and increases as it gets cooler.
Yes, the epoxy-coated sensor body is intended for measuring temperature in damp environments, including weather exposure or liquids. It is often used in places like water lines and air-conditioning systems.
Yes, the supplier notes it can be used with Arduino and CircuitPython. Thermistors can be read by a microcontroller using a resistor-divider circuit and an analog input.
The nominal resistance at 25°C is 10K ohms with ±1% tolerance. The supplier guide notes the 10K 1% thermistor can measure with about ±0.25°C accuracy when used with a sufficiently accurate analog converter.
Yes, it includes an additional 1% 10K resistor. This can be used for calibration or as the fixed resistor in a voltage-divider circuit for reading the thermistor.
It is not a good choice for very hot applications. The supplier specifically notes the PVC wire coating is rated up to 105°C, so it is not meant for measuring very hot liquids or surfaces.
