A new range of low-cost temperature sensors designed specifically for use on printed circuit boards has been developed by Heraeus Sensor-Nite.

A new range of low-cost temperature sensors designed specifically for use on printed circuit boards has been developed by Heraeus Sensor-Nite Offering high measurement accuracy, long-term stability and near linear output over the temperature range -50 to +130C, these sensors offer superior performance to traditional thermistors and semiconductor-based temperature sensors

Available in SMD 1206, SMD 805, TO92 and SOT 223 packages, these sensors are supplied in blister reels which are compatible with the latest automated assembly techniques.

They are suitable for use in most temperature measurement or temperature compensation applications especially where space is at a premium or fast response times are needed.

Based on established thin-film platinum technology, sensors are available with nominal resistances of 100 or 1000ohm at 0C and in two tolerance classes.

Temperature coefficient is positive and complies with the DIN EN 60751 standard.

Maximum drift over 1000h at 130C is 0.06%.
