BAPI Sensor Specifications Rev. 01/06/14

Thermistor Description
BAPI Thermistors are thermally sensitive
resistors known for exhibiting a large change in
resistance with only a small change in temperature.
It is important to note that a thermistor’s change in
resistance is non-linear. It follows a
pre-defined curve which is provided by the therm-
istor manufacturer. An example of a thermistor
output curve can be seen in Figure 1.
Thermistors are manufactured to follow a specific
curve with a high degree of accuracy. All BAPI
thermistors have a standard accuracy of ± 0.2 °C
throughout the commercial temperature range of
0 to 70 °C. BAPI also has available a higher accuracy sensor for meeting tougher specs. The extra
precision [XP] line has an initial accuracy of ± 0.1 °C throughout the commercial temperature range
of 0 to 70 °C. Please call for availability and pricing on [XP] line thermistors. Both accuracy levels al-
low BAPI thermistors to be interchanged without the extra expense of offsetting the controller.
* All Passive Thermistors 10K Ω and smaller are CE compliant.
