Temperature Sensors

A "temperature sensor" is a device designed to measure the temperature of its surroundings and convert this information into a readable output, often in the form of an electrical signal or digital data. These sensors are widely used in various applications to monitor and control temperature, ensuring optimal conditions in diverse environments. Temperature sensors come in different types, including thermocouples, thermistors, infrared sensors, and semiconductor-based temperature sensors. Each type has its specific characteristics and applications. Thermocouples, for example, generate a voltage proportional to the temperature difference, while thermistors exhibit a resistance change with temperature. In industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer electronics, temperature sensors are crucial for maintaining the desired temperature range, preventing overheating or freezing, and facilitating accurate temperature-dependent processes. Their versatility makes them essential components in systems where precise temperature control and monitoring are paramount.
