Description

The NTC MF5A-3 10K 3950 Thermistor is a widely used temperature sensor component designed for precise and reliable temperature measurement in electronic circuits. It belongs to the Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) family, meaning its resistance decreases as temperature increases, enabling accurate sensing and control.

This thermistor has a nominal resistance of 10kΩ at 25°C with a tolerance of approximately ±5%, and a B-value of 3950K, which defines its sensitivity to temperature changes.

Encased in a durable epoxy resin coating, the MF5A-3 offers excellent environmental stability and long-term reliability. It features two flexible, tin-coated copper leads for easy integration into circuits such as voltage dividers for analog temperature measurement.

The device operates over a wide temperature range, typically from -50°C to +125°C, making it suitable for both indoor and industrial environments. It also provides fast thermal response, allowing quick detection of temperature variations.

Thanks to its compact size, low cost, and consistent performance, this thermistor is commonly used in:

• Digital thermometers and temperature monitoring systems
• HVAC and refrigeration systems
• Battery management and protection circuits
• 3D printers and heating elements
• Home appliances and industrial control systems

Whether you are designing a temperature sensing circuit or building an Arduino-based monitoring system, the MF5A-3 10K 3950 thermistor offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for accurate thermal measurement.
