This article introduces temperature sensors that detect heat using either direct physical contact or non-contact methods like radiation and convection. It also introduces a few popular types, including bending bi-metallic strips, thermistors, and RTDs.
Low cost, platinum RTD surface, temperature sensor capsule from RdF Corporation
https://www.electronics-lab.com/low-cost-platinum-rtd-surface-temperature-sensor-capsule-rdf-corporation/
The 29309 series from RdF offers a small strong design which allows this package to conform on curved surfaces for accurate response in milliseconds. These surface temperature sensors offer a long term stability, better than ±0.05°C per 5 years. The moisture resistance for condensing environments or shallow immersion is provided by Kapton®/Teflon® lamination that completely […]

Susan Nordyk @ edn.com discuss about LTC2986 which is able to digitize and linearize a combination of temperature sensors in Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees. A 10-channel temperature-measurement IC, the LTC2986 from Linear Technology directly digitizes any combination of thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, and external diodes with 0.1°C accuracy and 0.001°C resolution. The analog front-end device combines […]
Howto Measure RTD over long distances
https://www.electronics-lab.com/howto-measure-rtd-over-long-distances/
Maurizio @ dev.emcelettronica.com tipped us with his latest article on how to measure Resistance Temperature Detectors over long distances. There is a multitude of process parameters nowadays that need to be measured in the industrial environment (temperature, pressure, humidity, force etc.). Out of these, undoubtedly the most common one is temperature, as it influences most manufacturing parameters. […]
Therm: a Tiny PID Controller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/therm-a-tiny-pid-controller/
by Ethan Zonca @ protofusion.org: Therm is a very small PID controller with an OLED display, thermocouple interface, and USB port. It can switch an external solid-state relay for driving large loads, or a transistor for driving small loads. When attached to a computer, it enumerates as a USB serial port for easy control and logging […]
