YAGEO Nexensos EC1540-R16 PT1000 RTD
Overview
The 5220069 (EC1540-R16) is a high-precision PT1000 platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD) designed for demanding environmental conditions. It features a flexible white PTFE housing that provides excellent dielectric strength and protection against dust and water ingress across a wide temperature range from -50C to +250C.
Why Choose This Part
This sensor offers superior durability through its flexible fluorocarbon housing, which ensures reliable performance under significant vibration and shock. Its PT1000 characteristic provides a higher resistance signal than standard PT100 units, reducing the impact of lead wire resistance in two-wire configurations.
Applications
Getting Started
To interface this PT1000 sensor with a microcontroller, use a high-resolution ADC with a precision current source or a dedicated RTD-to-digital converter like the MAX31865. Ensure the excitation current is kept low (typically under 1mA) to minimize self-heating errors, and use a 3-wire or 4-wire Kelvin connection for maximum accuracy over long cable runs.
