In addition to long-term stability, interchangeability and accuracy, elementary sensors are additionally characterized by small size footprints of only a few square millimeters. The temperature application range, however, is extremely high: from -196° Celsius to +1000° Celsius!
To increase the ease of use in mass production applications, Heraeus Sensor Technology has enhanced the capabilities of elementary sensors. DBS sensors, for example, are equipped with rectangular connecting wires that offer superior directional stability when compared to round wires. The DBS sensors, which are available in several different standard wire lengths, can eliminate the need for expensive extension leads.
Ideas developed by Heraeus Sensor Technology have simplified the need for further processing of SMD sensors. The FC-type SMD sensor, for example, which have no edge-metallization, can be die-bonded on PCBs instead of soldered, saving time and costs for automated manufacturing processes.
