Sensor Scientific glass probe thermistors are extremely useful in applications that require high stability and ruggedness. The availability of 4 standard outer diameters offers the designer the flexibility to fit the thermistor to the design, rather than compromising the design to accommodate the thermistor. The SP43A style (0.043"/ 1.09mm diameter) provides the small size advantages of the industry-standard large bead (.042" /1.07mm) thermistor without the associated handling problems. Typical applications include fluid flow and fluid level measurement, thermal conductivity measurement, temperature measurement, and temperature compensation.

PART NUMBER SPECIFICATION:

To specify a part number, the following sequence should be used:

SP80A103201/2 specifies a glass probe thermistor, .080" (2.03mm) diameter, 10000 ohms at 25 Deg. C., with a resistance tolerance of ±20%, and nominal length of ½" (12.7mm)
# SP80A103201/2 indicates glass probe thermistor
# SP80A103201/2 indicates nominal diameter 43A = 0.043" (1.09mm) 80A = 0.080" (2.03mm) 60A = 0.060" (1.52mm) 100A = 0.100" (2.54mm)
# SP80A103201/2 indicates zero power resistance at 25°C. The first two digits indicate significant figures, and the last digit indicates the number of zeros following the significant figures. In this example, "103" represents 10000 ohms.
# SP80A103201/2 indicates the resistance tolerance at 25°C, expressed in ±%. In this example, ±20" indicates the standard tolerance of ±20%. Other typical tolerances include ±1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30%.
# SP80A103201/2 indicates the nominal body length. 1/4 = 0.25" (6.4mm) 1/1 = 1.00" (25.6mm) 1/2 = 0.50" (12.7mm) 2/1 = 2.00" (51.2mm)

(Note: The SP43A is available only in a 0.1" (2.5mm) length. The length term is omitted in the SP43A part number)
