Fuji Electric, Temperature sensor - PT100

Measurement of the resistance variation of a resistive element. This variation is function of the temperature at which it is subjected : increase of the resistance depends on the increase in temperature. A platinum resistance probe is a type of thermistor that can measures the temperature over a range of -200°C to + 600°C (and exceptionally up to 800°C). This principle is based on a physical phenomenon : the electrical resistance of platinum varies with temperature. Fuji Electric offers you a full range of custom-made resistance probes according to your specific needs, from unit to small series.

Fuji Electric tepretature sensor recommended used range.

-200 to -180°C : model on request, increased fragility
-180 to -50°C : model on request, increased fragility
-50 to +450°C : Standard range
+450 to +600°C : model on request, fragility, pollution hysensitivity, fast degradation of tolerances accuracy
+600 to +850°C : uncontrollable accelerated aging process
