Editing Thermistor (section)

===NTC===
* As a thermometer for low-temperature measurements of the order of 10&nbsp;K.
* As an inrush current limiter device in power supply circuits, they present a higher resistance initially, which prevents large currents from flowing at turn-on, and then heat up and become much lower resistance to allow higher current flow during normal operation. These thermistors are usually much larger than measuring type thermistors, and are purposely designed for this application.<ref>[http://www.ussensor.com/inrush-current-limiting-power-thermistors Inrush Current Limiting Power Thermistors]. U.S. Sensor</ref>
* As sensors in automotive applications to monitor fluid temperatures like the engine coolant, cabin air, external air or engine oil temperature, and feed the relative readings to control units like the [[Electronic control unit|ECU]] and to the dashboard.
* To monitor the temperature of an incubator.
* Thermistors are also commonly used in modern [[Thermostat#Digital electronic thermostats|digital thermostats]] and to monitor the temperature of battery packs while charging.
* Thermistors are often used in the hot ends of [[3D printing|3D printers]]; they monitor the heat produced and allow the printer's control circuitry to keep a constant temperature for melting the plastic filament.
* In the food handling and processing industry, especially for food storage systems and food preparation. Maintaining the correct temperature is critical to prevent [[foodborne illness]].
* Throughout the consumer appliance industry for measuring temperature. Toasters, coffee makers, refrigerators, freezers, hair dryers, etc. all rely on thermistors for proper temperature control.
* NTC thermistors come in bare and lugged forms, the former is for point sensing to achieve high accuracy for specific points, such as laser diode die, etc.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.analogtechnologies.com/thermistor.htm |title=PTC Thermistors Guide- "Publish By Analog Electronic Technologies".}}</ref>
* For measurement of temperature profile inside the sealed cavity of a convective (thermal) [[inertial sensor]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Mukherjee|first1=Rahul|last2=Basu|first2=Joydeep|last3=Mandal|first3=Pradip|last4=Guha|first4=Prasanta Kumar|title=A review of micromachined thermal accelerometers|url=http://stacks.iop.org/0960-1317/27/i=12/a=123002?key=crossref.1e9a8280a933644098e54f005bcc2082|journal=Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering|year=2017|volume=27|issue=12|page=123002|doi=10.1088/1361-6439/aa964d|arxiv=1801.07297|bibcode=2017JMiMi..27l3002M|s2cid=116232359}}</ref>
*Thermistor Probe Assemblies <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ei-sensor.com/thermistor-probes/|title=Thermistor Probes|website=EI Sensor Technologies|language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-13}}</ref> offer protection of the sensor in harsh environments. The thermistor sensing element can be packaged into a variety of enclosures for use in industries such as HVAC/R, Building Automation, Pool/Spa, Energy and Industrial Electronics. Enclosures can be made out of stainless steel, aluminum, copper brass or plastic and configurations include threaded (NPT, etc.), flanged (with mounting holes for ease of installation) and straight (flat tip, pointed tip, radius tip, etc.). Thermistor probe assemblies are very rugged and are highly customizable to fit the application needs. Probe assemblies have gained in popularity over the years as improvements in research, engineering and manufacturing techniques have been made.
* UL Recognized NTC thermistors in the XGPU2 category helps save equipment manufacturers time and money when applying for safety approvals for their end product. DO-35 hermetically sealed glass encapsulated thermistors <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ei-sensor.com/thermistors/ed35u-ul-recognized-glass-encapsulated-thermistor/|title = ED35U UL Recognized Glass Encapsulated NTC Thermistors}}</ref> can operate up to 250&nbsp;°C which gives them an advantage in many applications when UL is requested for a sensing element.
