| NOTES: |
- Recommended operating range of GA-50-AA is 50 mK to 1 K, but it can be used beyond this range
- Excitation chosen to minimize sensor self-heating
- Typical thermal resistance with minimal heat sinking; can be improved with permanent installation
- Typical sensor characteristics; individual sensors vary in resistance and sensitivity
|
The Lake Shore GR-50-AA germanium RTD is the best choice for high accuracy and sensitivity from 0.05 K to 1 K with the Model 370 AC resistance bridge. |
