3100 00011045 Application Field and Working Principle

The 3100 00011045 is a temperature sensor developed for use in industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. It is a mechanical temperature sensor that utilizes a thermistor to measure temperature. The thermistor is a specially designed semiconductor, usually made from oxides of metal or polycrystalline materials, which changes its electrical resistance with temperature.

The 3100 00011045\'s basic operating principle is that the resistance of the thermistor varies with temperature, and the change in resistance is used to indicate changes in temperature. In other words, by applying a voltage across the thermistor, the resulting current is proportional to the temperature. The measured current can then be used to calculate the temperature.

The 3100 00011045 is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from -30°C to +85°C, and it can measure temperatures from -55°C to +125°C with accuracy within ±1.5°C. It is also designed to be protected against ambient electromagnetic interference. The 3100 00011045 is made with a rugged plastic housing, making it resistant to moisture and shock.

The 3100 00011045 is ideal for both industrial and consumer applications, typical uses include temperature control in ovens and refrigerators, outdoor temperature measurements, automotive HVAC and engine cooling systems, temperature sensors for industrial systems, and environmental control systems such as humidity and air flow.

The 3100 00011045 is a cost effective solution for temperature control in industrial or consumer applications, offering highly accurate temperature measurements with a wide operating temperature range. The rugged plastic housing makes it resistant to moisture and shock, while its electromagnetic interference protection ensures reliable operation.
