ATC Semitec has developed a range of TPE encapsulated sensors
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.
So ATC Semitec has 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 is capable of operating at up to 105°C.
These cost-effective sensors are said to ensure absolute integrity when used in outdoor locations (e.g. solar panels) as well as in under-floor heating and other HVAC applications. There are also other options available, such as stiff lead versions and a high temperature variant rated to150°C.
Double-insulated and rated to 4kV, these IP68 sensors are said to offer complete peace of mind in applications where moisture ingress has previously been a problem.
