Overview

The NB-PTCO-002 is a PT100 platinum thin-film resistance temperature detector (RTD) manufactured by TE Connectivity Measurement Specialties. It features a compact 2.0mm x 2.3mm ceramic substrate and provides a linear resistance change in response to temperature. This sensor is classified as a Class B tolerance device, ensuring high accuracy and stability for long-term temperature monitoring.

Why Choose This Part

The PT100 technology offers superior linearity and interchangeability compared to NTC thermistors. Its thin-film construction provides a fast response time and high vibration resistance in a small footprint. Additionally, platinum RTDs are known for their extremely low drift over time, reducing the need for frequent recalibration.

Applications

HVAC Temperature Control
Used in building automation and air conditioning systems for precise climate monitoring and energy management.
Industrial Process Monitoring
Ideal for monitoring equipment temperatures in manufacturing environments where long-term stability is critical.
White Goods
Integrated into high-end household appliances like ovens or refrigerators to maintain tight thermal tolerances.
Medical Instrumentation
Suitable for laboratory equipment and diagnostic tools requiring repeatable and accurate temperature measurements.

Getting Started

To interface with this sensor, use a high-precision analog front-end like the MAX31865 in a 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire configuration to compensate for lead wire resistance. Ensure the excitation current is kept low (typically 1mA or less) to prevent self-heating errors that can skew measurement accuracy. A Wheatstone bridge or a constant current source followed by an instrumentation amplifier is the standard approach for custom discrete designs.
