Temperature sensor for wearables

Murata has announced an accurate temperature sensor mounted on a flexy cable; for phones, tablets, and wearables.

“With a flexible printed circuit thickness of approximately 100µm, they can be easy routed inside complex designs and tight spaces,” said Murata.

Called FTNT55XH103FA1A050, it is rated for use from -40 to +125°C, with +/-0.4°C accuracy at 25°C where resistance is 10kΩ +/-1%.

Size is 50×3.2x 0.55mm.

“Owing to their low heat capacity, thermal responsiveness is excellent. They are very suitable for sensing body surface temperature,” said Murata.
