Thin-film platinum temperature sensor elements are available in several leaded and surface-mount packages. Leaded types are available in multiple footprint sizes, various lead wire types matched to a specific connection technology such as soldering or welding, and a wide operating temperature range. Surface-mount elements are available in standard SMD sizes with traditional end-banded terminations or single-sided flip-chip type terminations, as well as with metalized backs for board mounting via silver sintering technology. Other available packages include SOT board-mountable packages and encapsulation in a ceramic case.
