Vacuum deposited nickel films are used to produce
temperature sensors with various characteristics. The small
size and small thermal mass of these devices result in a
quick response to changes in temperature.
FEATURES
•Conforms to the DIN 43760 specs in - 60 °C to
+ 180 °C temperature range
•TCR: 6180 ppm/°C (0 °C; + 100 °C)
(see note (1))
•Wide resistance range: 25 Ω to 2500 Ω, TFS-S
25 Ω to 250 Ω, TFS-W
•Packaging available: W/A, SIL
•
High stability ( and < 0.2 % 1000 h at Pn at 150 °C)
•Compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/0EC
Note
(1) The ohmic value RT at temperature T (°C) depends on R0 (ohmic value at 0 °C) according to the following equation:
RT/R0 = 1 + 5.485 x 10-3 T + 6.65 x 10- 6 T2 + 2.805 × 10- 11 T4
Example: 0 °C < T < 100 °C
RT/R0 = 1.6180
TCR = ± 6180 ppm/°C
* Pb containing terminations are not RoHS compliant, exemptions may apply
