Platinum RTD Sensor - PT100 - 3 Wire 1 meter long

OverviewWiringAlternates
Platinum RTD Sensor - PT100 - 3 Wire 1 meter long - Adafruit - 3290

PT100 platinum RTD probe on a 1 m three-wire cable, 100 Ω at 0°C. Requires a dedicated amplifier (e.g. MAX31865) to convert resistance to temperature; not directly readable by a standard ADC.

  • RTD lead A

    One side of the PT100 platinum resistor element. Adafruit states two wires connect to either side of the platinum resistor.

    Type · Unknown
  • RTD lead B

    Opposite side of the PT100 platinum resistor element. The sensor is a 100 ohm platinum RTD at 0°C.

    Type · Unknown
  • RTD sense lead

    Third wire connected to one end of the PT100 element for 3-wire RTD measurement so an amplifier can subtract lead voltage drop. Leave disconnected for 2-wire amplifiers.
