FST Series
Thin Film Temperature Sensor
The FST series design positions the contact surfaces
on the side with the active measuring layer. This
design produces a sensor in position for face-down
mounting. This mounting optimizes current trends in
the ‘adhesion instead of soldering’ electronics sec-
tor. Using conductive adhesives provides reliable and
cost-effective connection to the circuit board and
is an alternative to the conventional reflow or wave
soldering. The FST series is available in 2 tolerance
classes, 0.12% and 0.24% per the DIN EN 60751
specification. Both tolerance classes are available in
the three resistance levels of the FST series.

Processing infor-
• Reflow soldering or wave soldering, e.g.
mation
double wave soldering < 8 s / 235°
• Also can be mounted using SMD insertion
machines with Ag conductive adhesive.
Storage life
Stored in a nitrogen atmosphere, min. 9
months
• When mounting PCB circuits, the expansion
relationship of the sensor and the substrate
material must be taken into account.
