PT100 3-wire temperature probe

Product Code: MIKROE-2885

The PT100 3-wire Temperature Probe is a type of RTD platinum probe used to measure temperatures up to 250°C. This type of probe can be used with RTD Click Board™. RTD sensors are basically thermosensitive resistive materials that change the resistance depending on their temperature. In this case, the resistor is a small strip of platinum with a resistance of 100 at 0°C - that is why it is called PT100. Temperature: max. 250⁰ Celsius 3-Wire Length: 1m (100cm, 3.37 inches) Grade: 2B Tolerance: 0.5 Why use an RTD type of Sensor? • A wide temperature range • Precision and accuracy • Long-term stability For many years, these type of sensors have been used in industrial and laboratory conditions since they are considered to be more accurate and stable than most NTC/PTC thermistors. Also, platinum is an excellent choice since they are very stable and reusable, and are resistant to corrosion or oxidation.
