A thermocouple is a temperature measuring element that can directly measure temperature and convert the temperature signal into a thermoelectromotive force signal, which is then converted into the temperature of the measured medium through an electrical instrument (secondary instrument).

The magnitude of the electromotive force is proportional to the temperature difference of the probe. Therefore, thermocouples can be used to measure temperature.
Are thermocouples electronic components or electronic devices?
From the perspective of electronic components, a thermocouple is composed of two probes made of different metals or alloys. When the two ends of the probes come into contact with objects with different temperatures, an electromotive force is generated. The magnitude of the electromotive force is proportional to the temperature difference of the probe. Therefore, thermocouples can be used to measure temperature.
From an electronics perspective, thermocouples often form temperature detectors along with other circuit components. The temperature detector can convert the electromotive force generated by the thermocouple into a digital signal and output the digital signal to the control circuit. Control circuits can control the operation of equipment based on digital signals.
Therefore, thermocouples are electronic components that can be used alone or together with other circuit components to form electronic devices. Thermocouple is a very important electronic component with a wide range of applications.
The working principle of thermocouples is the thermoelectric effect. Specifically, two wires of different metals are connected to form a circuit, one of the contacts is heated, and the other contact is in an unheated (cold spot) state.
Due to the different electron concentrations and movement speeds in different metals, a The phenomenon of electron diffusion forms a current in a closed circuit, producing a wide temperature difference electromotive force.
This electromotive force is called thermoelectric potential. By measuring the magnitude of the thermoelectric potential, the temperature of the measured point can be known.
What are the disadvantages of thermocouples?
As a common temperature sensor, thermocouples have many advantages, such as wide temperature measurement range, stable performance, high measurement accuracy, fast thermal response time, high mechanical strength, high temperature resistance, long service life, etc. However, it also has some disadvantages, including:
Low accuracy: The accuracy of thermocouples is usually affected by a variety of factors, such as internal inherent inaccuracies caused by metal properties, errors in the signal scheduling process, etc., resulting in low accuracy.
Susceptible to corrosion: Since the thermocouple is composed of two different metals, corrosion over time may affect accuracy under some working conditions. Therefore, they may require protection, and maintenance and protection is essential.
Poor noise immunity: Noise generated by stray electric and magnetic fields can cause problems when measuring millivolt-level signal changes. Twisted thermocouple wire pairs may significantly reduce magnetic field coupling. Electric field coupling can be reduced by using shielded cables or routing and shielding within metal conduits. The measurement component should provide signal filtering in the form of hardware or software to effectively suppress power frequency (50 Hz/60 Hz) and its harmonics.

Thermocouple Example
How does a thermocouple work on a gas valve
The basic principle of thermocouples working on gas valves is to utilize the thermoelectric effect. The thermoelectric effect refers to the phenomenon that an electromotive force is generated when the electrodes of two different conductors or semiconductors come into contact with objects of different temperatures.
On gas valves, thermocouples are usually used to detect the temperature of gas after combustion. The two probes of the thermocouple are in contact with the air after gas combustion and the external air respectively. When the gas is burned, the temperature of the air will increase. Because the two probes of the thermocouple have different temperatures, an electromotive force is generated. The magnitude of the electromotive force is proportional to the temperature difference between the two probes.
The control circuit of the gas valve controls the flow of gas based on the electromotive force generated by the thermocouple. When the air temperature after gas combustion reaches a certain value, the control circuit will cut off the flow of gas. This can prevent excessive combustion of gas and cause safety accidents.
Specifically, the working process of thermocouples on gas valves is as follows:
Contact the two probes of the thermocouple with the air after gas combustion and the external air respectively.
When gas is burned, the temperature of the air will increase.
Since the two probes of the thermocouple have different temperatures, an electromotive force will be generated.
The magnitude of the electromotive force is proportional to the temperature difference between the two probes.
The control circuit of the gas valve will control the flow of gas based on the electromotive force generated by the thermocouple.
A thermocouple is a very effective gas valve temperature detector. It has the following advantages:
High precision. The measurement accuracy of thermocouples can reach ±0.1°C.
Good stability. The measurement stability of the thermocouple can reach ±0.01℃.
Good durability. The service life of thermocouples can reach more than 50,000 hours.
Therefore, thermocouples are widely used in gas valves.

What are heat-sensitive materials?
Thermosensitive material is a material that can sense temperature changes, and its physical properties such as resistance, capacitance, and inductance will change with changes in temperature. This material is usually composed of heat-sensitive materials and insulating materials. The heat-sensitive materials can sense temperature changes and generate corresponding electrical signals, while the insulating materials can ensure the stable transmission of electrical signals.

In short, a thermosensitive material is a material that can sense temperature changes and generate corresponding electrical signals. It has wide applications in many fields.
Thermistors are electronic components. It is a resistor that changes with temperature, made by using the resistance of heat-sensitive materials to change with temperature.
How does a thermistor work?
The working principle of the thermistor is to utilize the heat-sensitive effect of the semiconductor. When the temperature changes, the resistance value of the semiconductor will change, thereby achieving the measurement of temperature.
Specifically, when the temperature rises, the carrier concentration of the semiconductor increases and the resistivity decreases, causing the resistance of the thermistor to decrease; conversely, when the temperature decreases, the carrier concentration of the semiconductor decreases and the resistivity increases, causing the resistance of the thermistor to increase. By measuring the change in resistance of the thermistor, the change in temperature can be deduced.
The types and characteristics of thermistors vary depending on materials and structures, and the appropriate type and specifications need to be selected based on actual application requirements. It has been widely used in temperature measurement, temperature control, medical equipment, automotive electronics, aerospace and other fields. In practical applications, it is necessary to pay attention to the thermistor’s stability, linearity, response time and other performance indicators to ensure its measurement and control accuracy.
In addition, thermistors can also be used to implement functions such as circuit protection and volume control. For example, in audio amplifiers, thermistors can be used to adjust the volume; in circuit protection, when the current in the circuit is too large, the thermistors can automatically cut off the circuit to protect the circuit from damage.
The thermistor is a sensor made by utilizing the heat-sensitive effect of semiconductors.

Capacitors and inductors are both commonly used energy storage components in electronic circuits, but they have obvious differences in structure, principle, characteristics and applications.
A capacitor consists of two conductive plates and a medium. When a voltage is applied between the two plates, charges will be distributed between the two plates, forming an electric field. An inductor is made of wire wound around it, and when the current through the wire changes, a magnetic field is created around the wire.
principle
The principle of capacitance is to store energy in an electric field. When a voltage is applied between the two plates, charges will be distributed between the two plates to form an electric field. The energy of the electric field is equal to the sum of the energy of the charge and the potential energy of the electric field. The principle of inductance is magnetic field energy storage. When the current through the wire changes, a magnetic field will be generated around the wire. The energy of the magnetic field is equal to the sum of the energy of the current and the potential energy of the magnetic field.
characteristic
The characteristic of capacitor is capacitive reactance, which is inversely proportional to frequency and directly proportional to capacity. The characteristic of an inductor is inductive reactance, which is proportional to frequency and proportional to the inductance.

All in all, capacitors and inductors are important energy storage components in electronic circuits. They have obvious differences in structure, principle, characteristics and applications.
There are significant differences between capacitors and inductors in many aspects. The following is a specific analysis:
form of stored energy
Capacitor is an energy storage component, which stores electrical energy. The inductor converts electrical energy into magnetic energy and stores it.
Response to current in a circuit
Capacitors respond quickly to current in a circuit, while inductors respond slowly to current in a circuit. This means that in an AC circuit, a capacitor will charge and discharge faster, while an inductor will delay the change in current.
Frequency response in the circuit
Capacitors respond well to high-frequency signals and poorly to low-frequency signals; while inductors respond well to low-frequency signals and poorly to high-frequency signals. This characteristic has important applications in filtering, resonance and other circuits.
Scope of use
Capacitors are mainly used to store electrical energy and adjust circuit characteristics, such as filtering, decoupling, tuning, etc.; while inductors are mainly used to limit current and adjust circuit characteristics, such as chokes, transformers, etc.
In general, capacitors and inductors are different in terms of energy storage form, current response, frequency response, and range of use. When using it, you need to select the appropriate capacitor or inductor according to the specific needs and circuit characteristics.
