semiconductor based ic temperature sensor

Industry-standard semiconductor based sensors generally offer ±0.5°C to ±2°C accuracy over their rated range, depending on the specific chip and whether it is individually calibrated. Kingmach can provide sensors with calibration certificates for tighter tolerance if needed.

Yes. While the basic sensor element gives a voltage or digital output, we can integrate a signal conditioner to convert the signal to 4-20mA, 0-5V, or RS485 Modbus. Just let us know your data logger input requirements.

The sensor itself handles capacitance well, so cable runs can easily go beyond 100 meters if you use a shielded cable and proper grounding. We regularly supply sensors with 50m or 200m cables for dam and tunnel projects. Longer lengths need extra consideration for voltage drop if you are using a voltage output sensor without local amplification.

IC sensors are often the simplest option when you need moderate accuracy and a temperature range within -55°C to 150°C. They don't require cold junction compensation (unlike thermocouples) or a precision resistor network (unlike RTDs). They draw very little power, which is ideal for battery-powered loggers. If your application exceeds 150°C or needs very high precision, an RTD may be better. We can help you compare based on your specific monitoring scenario.

Yes. We can encapsulate the sensor in a waterproof probe with a stainless steel housing, or cast it into a concrete embedment block for direct installation in structures. We can also provide the bare sensor element if your team handles the packaging. Custom dimensions and mounting threads are available.
