STS4 Flexible Surface Sensor for High Temperatures

Semitec flexible film NTC thermistor sensors are suitable for surface sensing applications up to 230°C.  These springy “soft-touch” sensors use our FT or FL miniature thin film elements to achieve a very fast thermal response with a Tc of typically around 1 second.  The highly sensitive thermistor elements are laminated between two high-grade polymer layers that give both robustness and high temperature thermal stability.

These soft-touch sensors were originally designed for use in laser-printers and multi-function photocopiers.  However both catering appliances and industrial applications can also benefit from the fast thermal response combined with the high temperature stability offered by these sensors.
