The C series thin-film PRTDs combine the ideal curve characteristics of ceramic wire-wound RTDs with the vibration resistance of glass wire-wound RTDs and represent an excellent alternative to wire-wound RTDs. They are characterized by high long-term stability, excellent temperature shock resistance and a wide temperature range of -196°C to +500°C. C-type elements conform to the characteristic curve defined by DIN EN 60751 (according to IEC 751), and exhibit no hysteresis. These features make them best suited for applications in aerospace, chemical power generation plants, superconductor technology, and analytical equipment.
