Description
The E3D Thermistor Cartridge is a professionally engineered temperature sensing solution designed for convenience and reliability. By utilizing the industry-proven Semitec 104GT thermistor, each unit is encapsulated into a precision-machined cylindrical copper cartridge and potted with a high-conductivity, ceramic-based adhesive. This ensures rapid, accurate thermal response, allowing your 3D printer’s controller to maintain precise extrusion temperatures.
Designed for seamless maintenance, the thermistor features legs insulated with high-temperature fiberglass sleeving and is terminated with a Molex Microfit 3.0 connector. This modular setup allows you to disconnect your entire hotend assembly for servicing without the hassle of manual re-wiring. The kit includes a 1-meter connecting cable, providing ample length for standard and large-format printer configurations.
