Platinum specifications

General

Standard curve IEC 751

Recommended excitation 1 mA

Dissipation at recommended excitation 100 µW at 273 K

Thermal response time PT-102 & PT-103: 1.75 s at 77 K, 12.5 s at 273 K; PT-111: 2.5 s at 77 K, 20 s at 273 K

Use in radiation Recommended for use in ionizing radiation environments — more information

Use in magnetic field Because of their relatively low magnetic field dependence above 30 K, platinum sensors are useful as control elements in magnetic field applications when some error can be tolerated —  more information

Reproducibility1 ±5 mK at 77 K

Soldering standard J-STD-001 Class 2

1 Short-term reproducibility data is obtained by subjecting sensor to repeated thermal shocks from 305 K to 77 K
