Stainless steel, M10 size temperature probes

12 December 2015

Variohm EuroSensor’s new ETP-AM-SP-IMC temperature probes feature 316 grade stainless steel housings with convenient M10 screw-in interfaces and integral Deutsch IMC ‘Ultem’ connectors.

The new compact probes are available in both Pt100/1000 and NTC10K sensor versions and with enhanced IP67 environmental sealing. Both versions encapsulate the sensor element in a 4mm probe tip to ensure a rapid response time. The materials and construction are UL compliant.

The new ETP-AM-SP-IMC series is primarily aimed at high accuracy coolant and/or oil temperature monitoring on performance autosports and special-purpose vehicles. But with its fast response time, wide environmental temperature range and excellent resilience to moisture, oils and chemicals, the sensor is equally well equipped for demanding medical and industrial applications.

The Pt100/1000 sensor version has options for Pt100B and Pt1000A elements with working temperature from -55 to +180°C - whilst the NTC10K version temperature range is slightly reduced at the lower end, to -40°C. Both versions have a short term rating to +230°C and response time in still water (t90) of just 7s.

Optional accessories include kits with mating connectors or complete mating cable assemblies, which all feature the Deutsch IMC connector with its ‘Ultem’ high temperature and corrosion resistant composite material.

Variohm EuroSensor has also released a version of the probe with an integral FEP screened cable assembly which does not offer all of the advantages of the IMC connector version but will be of interest to customers with less demanding range and environmental durability requirements.
