Temperature Sensors - Thermostats - Mechanical

3455RC 81740145 application field and working principle are used for temperature sensing, among other tasks. Temperature sensors generally consist of two parts, a sensing element and a temperature-sensing device. The sensing element is the portion that detects the temperature and converts it into a usable signal for the temperature-sensing device. The sensing element can be passive, with no need for external power, or active, with a power source used to power the temperature-sensing device.

The 3455RC 81740145 is a Passive Infrared (PIR) temperature-sensing device. It is used to detect the presence of warm bodies, such as humans, across a broad range of temperatures. Unlike other temperature-sensing devices, the 3455RC 81740145 does not require a power source to operate. Rather, it is powered by the energy from the infrared radiation emitted by the warm body it is sensing.

At its core, the 3455RC 81740145 uses a thermistor, a temperature-sensitive resistor, to convert temperature changes into an electrical signal. When an infrared radiation source, such as a warm body, enters its sensing area, the thermistor will resist the incoming heat, causing its resistance to change. This change is then converted into a usable electrical signal, which can be used to detect the presence of a warm body as well as monitor its temperature.

The 3455RC 81740145 can be used in a variety of applications, including residential and commercial security systems, temperature-controlled environments, and HVAC systems. In a security system, it can be used to detect the presence of people or animals. In an HVAC system, it can be used to regulate the temperature of a space, with the thermistor responding to changes in temperature and signaling to the system. Lastly, it can be used to detect temperature in areas where a power source is not available, such as a remote cabin or cave.

In summary, the 3455RC 81740145 temperature-sensing device is a passive infrared temperature-sensing device that utilizes a thermistor to convert temperature changes into an electrical signal, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications. Its convenience and versatility make it a popular choice for temperature sensing, and it is easily integrated into a variety of systems.
