Is a temperature sensor the same as a thermal resistor?
Thread Content
Are temperature sensors and thermal resistors the same thing? Or is it a containment relationship?
Thermal resistors are just one type of temperature sensor; there are many other types as well, such as thermocouples and thermistors...
You are absolutely right; a temperature sensor is a rather broad concept
A thermoresistor is a type of temperature sensor
The range of temperature sensors is quite wide. As the name implies, they are used to convert temperature signals into signals that can be measured by the system; therefore, thermal resistors are a type of temperature sensor.
