Platinum RTD Sensor - PT1000 - 3 Wire 1 meter long

For precision temperature sensing, nothing beats a Platinum RTD. Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are temperature sensors that contain a resistor that changes resistance value as its temperature changes, basically a kind of thermistor.

RTD lead A
One side of the PT1000 platinum resistor. Adafruit states two wires connect to either side of the platinum resistor.
Type · passive
RTD lead B
Other side of the PT1000 platinum resistor. Adafruit states two wires connect to either side of the platinum resistor.
Type · passive
3-wire compensation lead
Third RTD wire connected to one end of the PT1000 for 3-wire RTD amplifier lead-resistance compensation. Leave disconnected for 2-wire amplifiers per Adafruit.
