The PTF family combines a group of resistance temperature detectors (RTD) using a Platinum resistor element utilizing the latest in thin film technology. It consists of a structured platinum film on a ceramic substrate, passivated by a glass coating.

PTF Family

The PTF family combines a group of resistance temperature detectors (RTD) using a Platinum resistor element utilizing the latest in thin film technology. It consists of a structured platinum film on a ceramic substrate, passivated by a glass coating. The connection wires are protected with glass on the welding area. The characteristic curve of this Platinum RTD complies with DIN EN 60751. The usage of Platinum as the resistive material provides
excellent long-term stability. Due to small size and low mass, this RTD has a fast response time and low time constant; therefore, it is an optimal solution for fast and precise feedback control systems.

Features

  • Conforms to DIN EN 60751
  • Wide operating temperature range: -50°C to +600°C (Ni/Au wire and
    Class F 0.3, Ag-Wire versions are limited to 300°C)
  • Standard nominal resistances values:
    R0: 100 and 1000Ω (others available upon request) Class F 0.1 (T = AA), F 0.15 (A), F 0.3 (B) and F 0.6 (C) accuracy
  • Very low drift over lifetime
  • Fast response time due to low thermal mass
  • Variety of outline dimensions available to fit a wide range of space requirements
  • Global interchangeability

Applications

  • Temperature feedback control
  • White goods
  • Industrial applications
  • Automotive
  • Medical
  • Sensing element for plug-in probes
