Platinum RTD Temp Sensors
ATC Semitec is the key UK & Irish distributor for the extensive range of platinum RTD sensor elements from YAGEO Nexensos GmbH, from Pt100 to Pt2000.
Based in Hanau (near Frankfurt), Heraeus invented the very first platinum sensor in the early 1900s, initially developing wire-wound technology and then later introducing thin film Pt100 elements in the 1970s.
These thin film platinum elements could be readily mass produced which helped to lower the unit cost. This meant that platinum sensors found their way into a wider range of applications that benefited from their linearity, precision and very stable characteristics. These applications vary from e-vehicle battery sensors and 3D printer heads to aspirating smoke detectors and e-cigarettes. YAGEO are constantly striving to develop their sensors for new and exciting applications and still lead the world today in thin film platinum sensor technology.
Other Products and Services from ATC Semitec
Flexible Lead NTC Thermistors
Flexible Thermistors are NTC thermistors which have flexible insulation to help simplify product assembly or provide unique monitoring solutions. Using flexible thermistors will help to speed up assembly and thus minimise production handling costs. Their small bead size give faster, accurate sensing and/or temperature control in numerous domestic and commercial applications.
PEPI Thermal Cut-Outs
PEPI (Portage Electric Products Inc) thermal cutouts provide over-temperature control and thermal protection from 5°C to 200°C. PEPI protectors can be calibrated down to a ±5K tolerance and with a wide temperature differential, they offer a compact solution to solve over-temperature problems. The latest PEPI FCP and PEPI ST01 thermal protectors offer combined thermal/current overload protection and can readily switch up to 8A/250VAC or 12A/24VDC.
One of PEPI’s neatest designs is an integral “self-hold” thermal and current sensitive cut-out, the model JS. The PEPI JS protector latches open after tripping and is then reset remotely, thus offering the same benefit as fitting a manual-reset cut-out but without the disadvantage of having to access it.
Thin Film Platinum RTD Sensor Elements
YAGEO Nexensos’ wired Pt-RTD sensor elements are designed for either PCB mounting or for use in temperature sensor assemblies. Our wide range of sensors, available from UK stock, ensures that there is a suitable product for your application.
Our M-series RTD sensor elements are the best choice for general applications, being suitable for use from -70°C to +500°C. Pt100, Pt500 and Pt1000 options are available on chips as small as 2mm x 2mm square with even smaller formats now offered.
