Philips Semiconductors Product specification
Silicon temperature sensors KTY81-1 series
LIMITING VALUES
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134).
CHARACTERISTICS
T
amb
=25°C, in liquid, unless otherwise specified.
Notes
1. The thermal time constant is the time taken for the sensor to reach 63.2% of the total temperature difference. For
example, if a sensor with a temperature of 25 °C is moved to an environment with an ambient temperature of 100 °C,
the time for the sensor to reach a temperature of 47.4 °C is the thermal time constant.
2. Inert liquid, e.g. FC43 manufactured by the 3M company.
