Flying lead temperature sensor | NTC 10 Kohm | metal probe | 1 m
Product description
The FLTSN-N is a high-precision passive temperature probe that utilizes an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor for measurement. It features an NTC 10 kΩ sensor element whose resistance decreases as the temperature increases.
The platinum sensor is resin-encapsulated within a stainless steel tube (53 x 8 mm), a design that ensures exceptional long-term stability and provides a fast response time of less than 1 second in liquids.
The probe comes with an integrated, extendable 1-meter long cable. The cable is unshielded, 2-pole twisted (2 x 0.5 mm²), and features alloy conductor wires for low thermal conductivity.
This probe is a suitable solution for a variety of applications, operating reliably between -40°C and 125°C and in relative humidity below 95% rH (non-condensing).
Additional specifications and description
How Does This Temperature Probe Work, and What is NTC?
This temperature probe measures ambient temperature via a platinum element (NTC). This sensor element has an electrical resistance of 10 kΩ at 25 °C. It has a negative temperature coefficient. This means that the resistance decreases when the ambient temperature rises. Any device with an input for 'NTC passive temperature sensors' can read out the measured temperature.
What are NTC Thermistors, and Why are They So Important in HVAC Systems?
NTC thermistor probes measure temperature in various industries - from automotive, through green energy to domestic appliances, and even though their applications are endless, they are indispensable for HVAC.
The NTC thermistors increase or decrease their resistive value as the operating temperature around them fluctuates. They are extensively utilized as temperature sensors across a broad spectrum of equipment and systems, making them the preferred choice in virtually all applications where temperature monitoring is essential.
NTC thermistors are characterized by a negative resistance-temperature relationship. Their negative response enables them to exhibit significant variations in electrical resistance with even minor fluctuations in temperature. This property makes them well-suited for precise temperature monitoring and control application.

How is the Sensor Cable Extended, and How Does Length Affect Measurement?
This temperature sensor has an integrated cable. This unshielded 2-wire cable has a length of 1 m. The wires have a cross section of 0,5 mm². If necessary, this cable can be extended. The longer the cable length, the higher the influence of the resistance of the cable on the measurement readout. This sensor doesn't require a separate power supply.
