An enhanced range of low-cost temperature sensor elements is described in a new catalogue available from Platinum Sensors.

An enhanced range of low-cost temperature sensor elements is described in a new catalogue available from Platinum Sensors.

The new range comprises platinum resistance elements in a variety of sizes and designs with nominal resistances of 100, 500, 1000 or 10kohm at 0C.

All offer a fast response time, positive temperature coefficient and linear output together with high levels of measurement accuracy and stability.

The majority of these sensors are supplied with short connection wires.

They are ideally suited for building into probe assemblies, mounting onto printed circuit boards or any other application where accurate temperature measurement or temperature compensation is required.

They can be supplied in a variety of sizes from only 1mm wide and 1.7mm long.

Standard versions have an operating temperature range of -70 to +500C but some designs can be used to measure in the range -196 to +1000C.

SMD versions are also available for direct mounting on to printed circuit boards or hybrid circuits.

They can be supplied in three sizes: 1206, 805 and 603 with a choice of three types of solder pad material.

The normal operating range is -50 to +150C.
