YAGEO has introduced the MB-Series, a family of platinum resistance temperature detectors (Pt-RTDs) for applications including HVAC equipment, consumer appliances, and pyrolytic ovens. The first device in the family, the MB219, combines a platinum sensing element with nickel lead wires and is available in 100 Ω and 1000 Ω versions.
The MB-Series is a Pt-RTD temperature sensor used for temperature measurement in heating and thermal control systems.
Temperature Range And Accuracy Classes
The MB219 is specified for operation from -70°C to 500°C, with temporary exposure up to 550°C. The series is available in Class F 0.3 (B) and F 0.6 (2B) variants according to DIN EN 60751 and is offered with nominal resistance values of 100 Ω and 1000 Ω. YAGEO also lists high accuracy and interchangeability among the characteristics of the product family.
Nickel Lead Wire Construction
The MB-Series uses nickel lead wires instead of platinum lead wires while retaining a platinum sensing element. According to YAGEO, the use of nickel wires reduces dependency on platinum price fluctuations. The company developed the series for high-volume applications where cost stability and interchangeability are important requirements.
Welding And Mechanical Characteristics
YAGEO states that the MB-Series has been optimized for welding processes and integration into welded assemblies. The company also specifies resistance to vibration and shock. Target applications include pyrolytic ovens, HVAC equipment, and consumer appliances operating across a wide temperature range.
Environmental Compliance
The sensors are RoHS compliant and Pb-free. YAGEO states that the MB-Series was developed for large-scale production environments and is intended for use in volume manufacturing applications.
