Sensor enables accurate fluid temperature sensing

Supplied in a stainless steel housing for permanent contact with fluids, the sensor is comprised of an NTC thermistor chip with twin PVC-insulated AWG #30 lead wire connections. A small 2.0mm diameter tip enables fast, accurate temperature sensing with little heat loss through the connecting wires. A brass collar is available for sealed mounting, or the device can be supplied without a collar for custom mounting.

The NTCAIMME3 provides a very fast response time of 1.5s, low thermal gradient of less than 0.02K/K and high base temperature accuracy of ±1.5°C. Operating over a temperature range from -25 to +105°C, the device features maximum power dissipation of 100mW. The RoHS-compliant sensor offers resistance at +25°C (R₂₅) of 10 kΩ with a tolerance of ± 3 % and beta (B_25/85) of 3984K with a tolerance of ±0.5%.

The NTCAIMME3 is available now for sampling and in production quantities, with lead times of 8-10 weeks for large orders.
