DTC-A

Digital Thermocouple

Car manufacturers face increasing challenges. Technological requirements are continuously stepped up due to the demand for performance, safety, efficiency and clean emissions. Sensor-NITE accepts this challenge. It is our mission to achieve higher efficiency through an optimal control, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions.

Characteristics
Sensor Element	Type N Thermocouple
Signal Conditioning	A custom Integrated Circuit performs the conversion from a thermocouple voltage to an accurate temperature reading
Temperature Range	Peak: -40°C to 1,150°C For Electric Module: -40°C to 150°C
Accuracy	± 5°C from -40°C to 330°C ± 1.5% from 330°C to 1,150°C (including 500 hours ageing at 1,100°C)
Connector	Male 3 pin MLK-A connector with integrated electronics

Applications
•	For Temperature Applications Exceeding 900°C: • Gasoline Turbo Chargers • Diesel Turbo Chargers • Fuel Burners
•	But Also Applicable for: • Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC) • Diesel Particle Filters (DPF) • Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) • Lean NOx Trap (LNT or NST)
•	Protect Engine and Exhaust Components
•	Diagnose Systems for OBD (e.g. DPF, SCR)
•	Control System Operation (Regulate Temperature Windows of Systems)

Advantages
•	Automotive qualified production line
•	Robust by design
•	High absolute accuracy by tapered tip
•	Fast Step response by special filling of the tip
•	Flexibility in insertion depth: minimum 20mm
•	Straight and bent configurations for rear housing, 0˚ to 90˚ to facilitate installation on the engine
•	6mm diameter option for high vibration or long insertion depth application
