What Does TCR Stand For?
TCR stands for Temperature Coefficient Of Resistance
The Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) is a quantitative measure of how a material's electrical resistance changes with temperature. It is expressed as the ratio of the change in resistance to the change in temperature, typically in parts per million per degree Celsius (ppm/°C). TCR is crucial in applications where precise resistance is required under varying thermal conditions, such as in resistors, sensors, and electronic components. Understanding TCR is essential for engineers and scientists in designing and selecting materials for temperature-sensitive applications.
