Electronics
Due to their stability, accuracy, standardised characteristic and advantageous signal processing, temperature sensors in Pt thin-film technology from Heraeus Sensor Technology are the first choice when temperature measurements in high quality electronic modules for industrial or laboratory applications are involved. Generally, they are used as reference probes or for the compensation of thermally generated drift effects.
Platinum as reference
Pt temperature probes from Heraeus Sensor Technology have the central role of ensuring stability and reliability of complete industrial modules at different temperatures. One of the many examples is the large-scale use in precision weighing machines from leading manufacturers.
The positive features of Pt temperature sensors are also exploited in conjunction with measuring amplifiers. Costs for individual balancing are unnecessary due to the standardised characteristic and the minimum spread between samples. Their long-term behaviour eliminates measurement errors due to drift or uncertainty in the specified reference temperature.
Measurement resistors with values up to 10,000 ohm facilitate applications in electronic circuits with low power consumption, e.g. head transmitters in process technology, battery operated measurement systems or data loggers or also independent sensor modules in self-organised radio networks.
Versions
Heraeus Sensor Technology supplies various versions of Pt temperature sensors in thin-film technology.
The SMD series in the sizes 1206, 0805 and 0603 is available on belts for fully automatic assembly machines. These sensors are primarily used in highly integrated modules. For standard applications they are available in normal transistor cases of the type TO92.
Pt temperature sensors with wire leads are available in various versions. The choice here depends completely on the application and further processing.
