TCR Calculator

Calculate how resistance changes with temperature using the Temperature Coefficient of Resistance.

Adjust inputs and the results update automatically.

Inputs

Initial Resistance

TCR Specification

Temperature Range

Formula

Linear first-order temperature model.

R(T) = R₀ × [ 1 + TCR × 10⁻⁶ × (T − T₀) ]

Valid for moderate temperature deltas where TCR can be treated as constant. For wide ranges or non-linear devices, use a piecewise or higher-order model.
