Sensor Scientific small bead thermistors
offer the advantages of small size and
mass, very fast thermal response time,
extreme sensitivity to current and volt-
age changes, and high stability. Typical
applications include thermodilution car-
diac catheters and other biomedical
assemblies, fluid flow and fluid level
measurement, thermal conductivity
measurement, gas analysis, and small
surface area temperature measurment.

Note 1: The listed resistance values are a representative sample only. Other resistance values are available upon
request.
Note 2: Alpha values are for reference only. Actual values are dependent upon specific resistance at 25 Deg. C.
Note 3: The listed part numbers indicate the standard resistance tolerance of ±25% at 25 Deg. C. To specify a
different tolerance, replace the "25" characters at the end of the part number with "01" for
"1%, "10" for "10%, etc.
PART NUMBER SPECIFICATION:
To specify a part number, the following sequence should be used:
S14A10325 specifies a small bead thermistor with adjacent leads, 10000 ohms at 25 Deg. C.,
with a resistance tolerance of ±25%.
•
S14A10325
indicates small bead thermistor, .014" (0.36mm) nominal diameter
•
S14A10325
indicates lead configuration A: Adjacent leads B: Opposite leads
•
S14A10325
indicates zero power resistance at 25°C. The first two digits indicate significant figures, and the
last digit indicates the number of zeros following the significant figures. In this example, "103" represents 10000
ohms.
•
S14A10325
indicates the resistance tolerance at 25°C, expressed in ±%. In this example, "25" indicates the
standard tolerance of ±25%. Other typical tolerances include ±1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30%.
