For advanced sensor technology providing best-in-class quality, accuracy, and extremely high reliability, Shibaura’s range of thermistor elements, temperature and humidity sensors are unmatched in their performance across harsh environments.
Utilised by large blue-chip manufacturers around the globe, their range of thermistor elements, temperature and humidity sensors are unmatched in their performance across harsh environments, such as electric vehicles, automotive, industrial equipment, home appliances, consumer electronics and air conditioners.

About Shibaura:
Unique zero defect, high accuracy design
Shibaura NTC thermistors feature gold contacts in addition to waterproof glass coatings. This results in almost no drift in the resistance over time, whilst allowing the thermistors to be used in permanent operating temperatures ranging from -60°C to +1000°C, and are suitable for applications that are prone to frequent thermal cycles and high levels of humidity.
Their unique design and a fully automated, zero defect manufacturing process means Shibaura thermistors work consistently – without failure or deterioration – in harsh conditions and extreme temperatures.
Customisable options for more challenging environments
In addition, their sensors are highly customisable, offering a flexible choice of mouldings, assemblies, cable lengths and colours plus a variety of housings.
Custom sensing assemblies are particularly useful for harsh and high-end applications, and our team of engineers, with more than 25 years of experience designing custom sensor probes and assemblies for a range of applications, will help ensure you choose the right sensor element, design a suitable housing, and add the appropriate cable and connectors.
