KTY sensors and alternatives
KTY temperature sensors are made of doped silicon having a positive temperature coefficient. They have similar platinum measuring resistors an approximately linear characteristic curve.
They are durable and cost-
For the discontinued KTY83, KTY84, KTY81 and KTY82 we have a possible replacement!
The temperature sensors of the PTC series can used as an alternative to the discontinued KTY.
The almost identical characteristic and design allow easy replacement. As single unit or assembled they can ordered.
Frequent applications can found in windings of electric motors and transformers as winding temperature sensors, but also in printed circuit board construction, in household appliances and many more.
