A negative temperature coefficient or NTC resistor is a resistor whose resistance falls strongly with increasing temperature, unlike most resistors whose resistance increases slightly with temperature. Used as a temperature sensing component in electronic thermometers, to warn of overheating, particularly in lithium batteries, and as an inrush current limiter.
