One of the main problems with temperature sensors is the ingress of moisture which can seriously affect the sensor performance - the weakest point often being the lead/sensor interface.
ATC Semitec have developed a range of TPE encapsulated sensors where the leads and sensor are made from the same material. This creates a waterproof barrier which is rated to IP68 and can operate upto 105ºC.
These cost-effective sensors ensure absolute integrity when used in outdoor locations (eg. solar panels) as well as in under-floor heating and other HVAC applications. There are also other options such as stiff lead versions and a high temperature variant rated to 150°C.
Double-insulated and rated to 4kV, these IP68 sensors offer complete peace of mind in applications where moisture ingress has previously been a problem.
