A 47 kΩ NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor in a compact 5 mm radial package. NTC thermistors decrease in resistance as temperature rises, making them ideal for temperature sensing, thermal protection, and compensation circuits.

Dipped in epoxy for durability, this through-hole component features tinned copper leads with 5 mm pitch for easy breadboard and PCB mounting.

Key Features

  • NTC Ceramic Element – Resistance decreases predictably with rising temperature
  • Epoxy-Dipped Radial Package – Rugged and reliable for long-term use
  • Through-Hole Mounting – 5 mm lead pitch, tinned copper legs
  • Wide Application Range – Temperature sensing, thermal runaway protection, compensation circuits

Specifications

  • Resistance at 25 °C – 47 kΩ ±10%
  • Diameter – 5 mm
  • Temperature Coefficient – Negative (NTC)
  • Operating Temperature – From −20 °C
  • Thermal Dissipation – 6 mW/°C
  • Maximum Power – 500 mW
  • DC Current Rating – 20 mA
  • Lead Pitch – 5 mm
  • Mounting – Through-hole, solder legs

Ideal For

  • Temperature measurement and monitoring circuits
  • Thermal protection for transistor amplifier stages
  • Temperature compensation in analogue circuits
  • Arduino and microcontroller temperature sensing projects

Package Contents

  • 1× NTC Thermistor 47 kΩ (5 mm radial)

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

DC
DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
PCB
A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
Temperature compensation
Temperature compensation is when a sensor or instrument adjusts its readings to reduce errors caused by changes in temperature. This matters because a sensor's raw output often drifts as conditions warm or cool, so compensation keeps readings more consistent and accurate over time.
through-hole
A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
