Make and model of thermistor in probe

Post by mharding »

Hi

What's the exact make and model of the the thermistor used in the probes you supply, please?

Can you supply the naked thermistor?

I'd like to make my own probe without the well.

Thanks in advance

Mark

Hi

I'm still interested in the make and model of the thermistor used in the probe, and/or if you can supply them naked.

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately the supplier of the probes that we sell in our store doesn't provide the part numbers of their inner workings.

You can find bare 10k NTC thermistors in any electronics supply site (digikey, mouser, newark, etc..). Depending on the accuracy required, they can cost anywhere from $0.10 to $5.00.

Also, this thread may be of interest:

If that doesn't link, search: sensor database
I am happy with the plain black ones, I put one in a piece of 1/4" stainless tubing i robbed from an old tap tower, with tip TIG welded shut... Just remember to change the calibrations with coefficients generated from the 0,40,70 values on digikey link to mfr's datasheet

edit - here they are(good for both epcos ones in that thread, and both US Sensor ones in other post(seem to all use the 'J Curve'):

Or maybe this one - more expensive, but with a high-temperature lead and calibration data :

Insane international shipping charges, unfortunately.

Our 6" probes should be long enough if you're mounting to the side of the fermentor. Also, Brewers hardware offers probes up to 12".

If you want to come in from the top, I'd recommend using a thermowell. I think Morebeer also sells one. The probe slides inside the thermowell, if you're using our probes you'll have to remove the heatshrink over the probe end so that it will fit.
