Thermostats

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.

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.

These sensors are designed for temperature control and monitoring of liquid/coolants where a very fast thermal response is essential. This, combined with a high thermal accuracy, ensures accurate temperature control of the liquid/ coolants to help maximise efficiency.

ATC Semitec stock a number of immersion, inline and clip-on temperature sensors where the NTC thermistor is situated in the very tip of the sensor. This design reduces the thermal path to the thermistor and minimises the response time, allowing for faster temperature control. Screw threaded boss designs, surface sensor fixings for pipes and simple push-fit/clip-in versions are all available with industry standard connector options or flying leads if preferred.
