Surface Temperature Sensors
ATC Semitec stock a wide range of temperature sensors which are used across a diverse range of industries from:
- Miniature Medical Temperature Sensors,
- HVAC pipe-clip sensors
- Ring/Lug Temperature Sensors used within Automotive/Batteries applications
Essential features include speed of response and minimal heat-loss which are critical to obtain accurate temperature control.
Ideally the thermal mass of the surface temperature sensor should be as small as possible, combined with suitable thermal insulation where required.
Our range sensors include:
- NTC ring surface temperature sensors in plastic, metal and plastic/metal fittings to suit your application.
- Thin-film JT NTC thermistor sensors offer very fast-acting response for electronics, air-sensing
and medical applications; similar leaf-style high temperature sensors offer control accuracy up to 250°C in office automation products. - Pipe-clip surface temperature sensors can monitor internal fluid temperatures from the outside of the metal pipes on which they are located. Pipe diameters from 12mm to 28mm can be measured with accuracies as close as ±1K and thermal response times of less than 1 second.
