  • 100 ohm versus 1000 ohm

    How do I know if I need a 100 ohm part or a 1000 ohm part?

  • Balco sensors shifting out of tolereance

    I have worked with both Balco and platinum sensors in various applications.&nbsp; I like that a high resistance Balco sensor costs less than a platinum one, but I find that the resistance of the Balco sensors seems to shift more over time.&nbsp; Is Balco more sensitive to environmetal factors such as humidity and pressure? What else could be ...

  • Kapton

    Why does Kapton have a bad reputation in the aerospace industry?&nbsp; I have an end user who is uncertain about using Kapton heaters and sensors.&nbsp; Are his concerns justified?

  • Re: Sensor error

    Question 1 - Yes this can be done.&nbsp; The only error you will get from the leadwire itself is if the resistance of the leads are mis-matched.&nbsp; This can be avoided by using all one color wire that comes from the same spool.&nbsp; Also, using a 1000 ohm part versus a 100 ohm part helps to keep the overall leadwire resistance a lower ...

  • Re: High Temp Integrated Sensor

    Yes, an RTD is still an option at this temperature.&nbsp; Standard temperature tables for RTDs cover from -260°C to 962°C.&nbsp; The trick is finding an insulation for the sensor that is good up to 400°C.&nbsp; Perhaps you could use an integrated thin film element or ceramic element.

  • Re: Multiple Sensors

    The same features that drive up the cost of a single element Thermal-Ribbon, exponentially increase the cost of a dual element part.&nbsp; Since materials are relatively insignificant in a Thermal-Ribbon (parts are usually small), there is not a lot of material cost savings&nbsp;for a dual element.&nbsp; Tight resistance and dimensional tolerances ...

  • Re: Lead-Free Initiative

    First of all, there are actually several different lead-free initiatives out there.&nbsp; The most prominent one is the ROHS (Restriction of hazardous substances) directive passed by the European Union.&nbsp; Japan and some other countries are passing their own laws.&nbsp; So your answer depends on where you are selling product.&nbsp; For the most ...
