Platinum Resistance Temperature sensors on a 1206-sized surface mount chip are now available from UK Switching &  Sensing specialist, Willow Technologies Ltd. Designed, developed and manufactured by Sensotherm GmbH the sensors provide high accuracy, excellent long-term stability and a near linear output over the operating temperature range –50 to +150C.

The sensors may be pre-aged by temperature cycling to provide a maximum long-term drift of 0.02% over the full temperature range. Available as 100 & 500 devices, the sensors are laser trimmed to standard tolerance bands with a positive temperature coefficient compliant with DIN EN 60751 specifications. 

The sensors may be supplied blister-taped & reeled compatible with latest automated insertion techniques. Applications are wide  and the devices make an excellent replacement for thermistors in most temperature measurement or compensation circuits.
