Lake Shore Temperature Sensors, Diodes

DT-670 Series silicon diodes offer better accuracy over a wider temperature range than any previously marketed silicon diodes. Conforming to the Curve DT-670 standard voltage versus temperature response curve, sensors within the DT-670 series are interchangeable, and for many applications do not require individual calibration. DT-670 sensors in the SD package are available in four tolerance bands - three for general cryogenic use across the 1.4K to 500K temperature range, and one that offers superior accuracy for applications from 30K to room temperature. DT-670 sensors also come in a seventh tolerance band, B and E, which are availbale only as bare die. For applications requiring greater accuracy, DR-670-SD diodes are available with calibration across the full 1.4K to 500K temperature range.

Features:

• Best accuracy across the widest useful temperature range - 1.4 K to 500 K - of any silicon diode in the industry
• Tightest tolerances for applications from 30 K to 500 K of any silicon diode to date
• Rugged, reliable Lake Shore SD package designed to withstand repeated thermal cycling and minimise sensor self-heating
• Conformance to standard Curve DT-670 temperature response curve
• Variety of packaging options

The bare die sensor, the DT-670E-BR, provides the smallest physical size and fastest thermal response time of any silicon diode on the market today. This is an important advantage for applications where size and thermal response time are critical, including focal plane arrays and high temperature superconducting filters for cellular communication.
