Thermistor Options
To make a radiometric measurement with thermopile detectors, you will need to
approximate the thermopile’s cold junction temperature. Dexter offers optional externally
mounted thermistors for all models as well as internally mounted thermistors on several of
our models. Chip Thermistors (DC-4005) can be mounted internally in our models: ST60,
ST120, ST150, 2M, 2M Quad, TM34, T34, 10-Channel, and SLA32 Array to monitor
ambient temperature of the thermopile. Chip-in-Glass Thermistors (DC-4007) are available
for external mounting by the customer. Customers may supply thermistors or choose from
Dexter's standard thermistors. The on detector die poly-silicon resistor / thermistor (ST60R
& ST150R) are also shown below. Please contact Dexter Research Center for pricing.

North Star Sensors LLC Curve 43 Resistance vs. Temperature Table in 5 °C Increments
With Manufacturing Tolerance Adders, Resistance at 25 °C = 30,000 ohms ± 5 %
-50 1,692,966 -6.71 6.5 11.5 NTC - The Negative Temperature Coefficient of resistance is the % change in
-45 1,217,106 -6.49 5.7 10.7 resistance per change in temperature, expressed in units of -%/ °C. To determine
-40 884,193 -6.29 5.0 10.0 the approximate % resistance tolerance of a thermistor at a particular temperature,
-35 648,783 -6.09 4.4 9.4 multiply the given NTC value by the temperature tolerance at that temperature .
-30 480,615 -5.91 3.8 8.8
-25 359,301 -5.73 3.3 8.3 POINT MATCHED - For thermistors with a specified tolerance at a single
-20 270,966 -5.56 2.8 7.8 temperature point, the manufacturing tolerance is used to determine the tolerance
-15 206,067 -5.39 2.4 7.4 at other temperature points. Typically, thermistors are specified at 25 °C. To
-10 157,974 -5.24 2.0 7.0 determine the resistance tolerance at another temperature point, add the
-5 122,041 -5.09 1.7 6.7 manufacturing tolerance to the specified point matched tolerance. For example, a
0 94,980 -4.94 1.4 6.4 thermistor with a ± 5 % resistance tolerance at 25 °C has a ± 6.4 % tolerance at
5 74,445 -4.80 1.1 6.1 0 °C. Point matched thermistors should typically not cycle or operate continuously
10 58,749 -4.67 0.8 5.8 above 105 °C.
