The recommended soldering temperature is 260°C (500°F) and the recommended soldering time is 3-5 seconds.
Handle the thermistor by the body, not the leads, and store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
The thermal response time is approximately 10-15 seconds in still air and 5-10 seconds in moving air.
Yes, but the thermistor's accuracy and reliability may be affected. It's recommended to use a conformal coating or encapsulate the thermistor to protect it from moisture.
Calibration involves measuring the thermistor's resistance at multiple temperatures and creating a lookup table or using a thermistor curve-matching algorithm to convert resistance to temperature.
