NB-PTCO-160 is a platinum thin-film (PTF) temperature element (PT-RTD). It combines a group of resistance temperature detectors (RTD) using a platinum resistor element utilizing the latest in thin film technology. It consists of a structured platinum film on a ceramic substrate, passivated by a glass coating. The connection wires are protected with glass on the welding area. The characteristic curve of this platinum RTD complies with DIN EN 60751. The usage of platinum as the resistive material provides excellent long-term stability. Due to small size and low mass, this RTD has a fast response time and low time constant; therefore, it is an optimal solution for fast and precise feedback control systems. It is used in applications such as temperature feedback control, white goods, industrial applications, automotive, medical, sensing element for plug-in probes.
