RTD platinum thin film elements from TE Connectivity provide high accuracy and stability, with a wide selection of standard sizes, accuracy classes and are available in both Pt100 and Pt1000 base resistance values to meet the growing industry demand for accurate, stable and reliable platinum sensor elements.
Part List: Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD)
An RTD is a sensor whose electrical resistance changes with temperature. The following traits make RTDs ideal where precision matters (e.g., process control, HVAC, test rigs, and industrial instrumentation):
- Linearity & predictability — making calibration and compensation easier
- Stability over time — less drift under repeated thermal cycling
- Wide operating ranges — many RTDs span from subzero up to hundreds of degrees Celsius
There are several popular platinum RTD offered by TE Connectivity:
- NB-PTCO-002 - 100 Ω platinum RTD, resistance tolerance ±0.12% with -50°C ~ 600°C operating temperature and ±0.3°C Accuracy
- NB-PTCO-050 - 1 kΩ platinum RTD, resistance tolerance ±0.06% with -30°C ~ 300°C operating temperature and ±0.15°C Accuracy
- NB-PTCO-006 - 1 kΩ platinum RTD, resistance tolerance ±0.12% with -50°C ~ 600°C operating temperature and ±0.3°C Accuracy
- NB-PTCO-058 - 100 Ω platinum RTD, resistance tolerance ±0.04% with -30°C ~ 200°C operating temperature and ±0.1°C Accuracy
