RS PRO RTD Detector PT100 Sensor 2.8 mm Diameter, 15 mm Length, Class B Accuracy, 650 °C Max Temperature PT100

RS PRO PT100 RTD Detector sensor with a 2.8 mm diameter and 15 mm probe length offers precise temperature measurement with class B accuracy rating, capable of sensing temperatures up to 650 °C. This wire wound platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) element is engineered for optimal stability and longevity using a pure platinum wire wound into a miniature spiral inside a ceramic rod. The cylindrical form factor facilitates integration into various sensor housings for industrial and laboratory use.

The RTD operates on the principle that the resistance of platinum increases linearly with temperature, with the PT100 model exhibiting 100 Ohms resistance at 0 °C. The wire wound construction allows the platinum wire to expand and contract freely during temperature changes, reducing mechanical stress and ensuring consistent, reliable measurements across a broad thermal range from -200 °C to 650 °C. The detector's solder termination type ensures durable electrical connectivity in installations.

Features include a rapid 0.4 second response time facilitating quick temperature readings, making this sensor suitable for demanding environments such as automotive systems, chemical plants, HVAC monitoring, food processing, and scientific laboratories. The device is not certified for hazardous areas but serves well in standard industrial and controlling applications requiring accurate temperature sensing.
