Manufactured utilizing a PVD-deposition process on a silicon substrate, the sensing element features a nominal resistance of 1 k$\Omega$ at 0°C and adheres to the former DIN 43760 standard curve. Protected by a passivation layer for enhanced environmental stability, the active nickel element is housed in a compact, surface-mount SOT-23 package featuring pins 1 and 2 for electrical contact and an isolated pin 3 dedicated to optimized thermal coupling. This Ni-RTD exhibits exceptional linearity and a high Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) of 6178 ppm/K (0°C to 100°C), providing superior sensitivity relative to standard platinum alternatives. Operating with a recommended measurement current between 0.2 mA and 5 mA, the device maintains a low self-heating coefficient of 1.7 mW/K in still air at +23°C, ensuring minimal measurement error. Class B accuracy tolerances comply strictly with standard error bounds, demonstrating a maximum resistance drift of just 0.1% after 1000 hours at 150°C. Reflow solderable up to +260°C using 96Sn4Ag alloy, the component is supplied on 8mm tape and reel packaging formatted for automated pick-and-place assembly. The G-NICO-001 is ideally suited for demanding automotive applications—qualified to withstand severe mechanical vibration profiles and harsh environments including hot oil exposure—as well as industrial instrumentation and remote monitoring systems. In typical application circuits, it can be integrated into straightforward resistive voltage dividers for basic measurement or configured within high-accuracy bridge topologies utilizing operational amplifier linearization networks. To prevent inaccuracies, system designers must account for self-heating dissipation ($P = I^2R$) when scaling the excitation current for continuous temperature control, sensing, and thermal compensation loops. ## Specifications | Parameter | Value | |---|---| | Svhc | No SVHC (27-Jun-2024) | | Rtd Type | Component | | Resistance | 1kohm | | Probe Length | - | | Rtd Accuracy | Class B | | Product Range | MEAS Series | | Probe Diameter | - | | Probe Material | - | | Cable Termination | - | | Resistance @ 0°C | 1kohm | | Rtd Element Material | Nickel | | Cable Length - Metric | - | | Cable Length - Imperial | - | | Sensing Temperature Max | 160°C | | Sensing Temperature Min | -55°C | | Measured Temperature Max | - | | Measured Temperature Min | - | ## Datasheet 📄 [Download PDF](https://novapart.co/datasheet/farnell:2748860/) ## Ni1000SOT ## Temperature Sensor ## SPECIFICATIONS - **Contact temperature sensing** - **Comply with former DIN 43760 standard** - **Small SMD package SOT 23** - **Automotive qualified** Ni1000SOT is a nickel thin film resistance temperature detector (RTD) that is suitable for use in contact temperature sensing.
