Leveraging TDK’s unique closed-loop architecture that provides an unprecedented level of vibration rectification and resistance to operational shocks, AXO315T0 exhibits […]
Sensor offers ±1K accuracy across -40 °C to +150 °C operating range
TDK Corporation launches B58101A0851A000, the first in a new line of immersion temperature sensors (ITS), designed specifically for EV powertrain cooling applications. This highly responsive, fully sealed NTC thermistor is engineered to provide fast and precise temperature control, e.g., for oil-cooled systems. Oil cooling is anticipated to become the dominant temperature management method in the […]
Thermistor series features 14-second cooling tme constant for industrial monitoring
TDK Corporation introduces two new NTC thermistors designed for precise temperature measurement in automotive and industrial environments. The L862 and L871 series operate across a temperature range of -40°C to +155°C, with power dissipation rated at 60 mW at room temperature. The L862 features a 2.6 x 6.5 mm sensor element with silver-plated nickel wire […]
What is negative temperature coefficient?
A negative temperature coefficient (NTC) refers to any physical value that decreases as the temperature increases or vice versa. In electronics, NTC usually refers to a material’s decreasing resistance as the temperature rises. This article examines how NTC device performance is quantified and compares with other technologies like resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and positive temperature […]
What sensors indicate the weather: part 2
With extreme weather conditions, people directly impacted by the pending situation need to know how severe it will be. For hurricanes, the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale provides a rating from 1 (very dangerous winds that will produce some damage) to 5 (catastrophic damage will occur) based on a hurricane’s maximum sustained wind speed. This approach […]
Vented miniature LVDTs for hydraulic and material testing applications
NewTek offers a vented design for its miniaturized series of AC-operated position sensors that provides greater endurance to pressure, temperature, shock, and vibration. These attributes result in greater accuracy and the ability to fit into restrictive spaces when measuring the deformation of samples in test chambers for hydraulics and material testing applications. In geologic […]
What sensors indicate the weather: part 1
Temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction, and possible rainfall (or snowfall) in specific areas are common indicators of current and future weather conditions. However, other sensor inputs, such as pressure drop, air quality, particulate matter (including dust), and more (storm surge), are frequently required to identify and react to extreme weather conditions. The recent hurricanes […]
