Platinum element

Overview

The platinum layer has been protected with a glass-/ceramics-passivating coat against chemical and mechanical effects. The elements are shock proof and can be used in extreme environments. Suitable types are available for many varying areas of application.

These may differ in respect of:

  • measuring range
  • nominal resistance from 10 to 2000 Ohm at 0 °C
  • the geometric dimensions from 0.4 mm
  • shape

Details

Platinum temperature sensor elements are part of our long established product range, with successful application over many years. Produced in thin film process, they can form part of temperature sensor modules of our own design and production, or could be supplied for temperature measuring applications in areas including:
  • industrial equipment
  • medical applications
  • transport and automotive industry
  • agricultural applications
  • energy and environmental applications
Our temperature sensor elements are also used successfully as components in resistance thermometers. The construction process of the elements ensures a high degree of reliability in many applications. Even in very small sizes short response times and long term stability are maintained. Our volume production permits us to offer clients very competitive prices. Special shapes and dimensions to customer requirements can be developed and produced with short lead times. The temperature sensor elements produced are thin film sensors on which the temperature dependant resistant has been applied in form of a thin, laserstructured platinum layer on a Al2O3 carrier substrate.
