Intake Air Temperature Sensor

Temperature sensor is temperature sensitive semiconductor resistor, which usually has negative temperature coefficient (NTC), meaning that the resistance goes down with increasing temperature. The opposite type – positive (PTC) is very rare.

Application:

  • Engine coolant temperature sensor
  • Air temperature sensor
  • Oil temperature sensor
  • Fuel temperature sensor
