Thermal response time SD: typical <10 ms at 4.2 K, 100 ms at 77 K, 200 ms at 305 K; BR: 1 ms at 4.2 K, 13 ms at 77 K, 20 ms at 305 K

Use in radiation Recommended for use only in low-level radiation — more information

Use in magnetic field Not recommended for use in magnetic field applications below 60 K. Low magnetic field dependence when used in fields up to 5 T above 60 K — more information.

Reproducibility1 ±10 mK at 4.2 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 4.2 K

Range of use

PackageMinimum limit Maximum limit
SD, CU-HT2, BR1.4 K500 K
CU, LR, CY, ET, MT, BO, HR1.4 K420 K

2 The high-temperature variant of the CU package (CU-HT) requires immersion in liquid cryogen or vapor to achieve the specified performance. Sensors mounted in vacuum may operate with reduced performance close to base temperature due to reduced thermal performance. See package information for more details.
