Temperature sensors seal out the environment

An ATC Semitec product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 8, 2008

ATC Semitec has developed a range of TPE encapsulated sensors where the leads and sensor are made from the same material.

One of the main problems with temperature sensors is that ingress of moisture can seriously affect the sensor performance.

And the weakest point is often the interface between the sensor and its lead.

To counter this problem, ATC Semitec has developed a range of TPE encapsulated sensors where the leads and sensor are made from the same material.

This creates a waterproof barrier which is rated to IP68 and can operate up to 105C.

These cost-effective sensors ensure absolute integrity when used in outdoor locations (such as on solar panels) as well as in underfloor heating and other HVAC applications.

There are also other options such as stiff-lead versions and a high-temperature variant rated to 150C.

Double-insulated and rated to 4kV, these IP68 sensors offer complete peace of mind in applications where moisture ingress has previously been a problem.
