General

Standard curve 102 and 202: 0.05 K to 40 K; 103: 1.4 K to 40 K

Recommended excitation1RX-102 and RX-202: 20 µV (0.05 K to 0.1 K); 63 µV (0.1 K to 1.2 K); 10 mV or less for T >1 K. RX-103: 10 mV or less for T > 1 K.

Dissipation at recommended excitation
102 and 202: 7.5 × 10–8 W at 4.2 K;
103: 3.2 × 10–9 W at 1.4 K, 5.5 × 10–9 W at 4.2 K, 9.6 × 10–9 W at 77 K

Thermal response time 0.5 s at 4.2 K, 2.5 s at 77 K

Radiation effects Recommended — more information

Magnetic field Recommended — more information

Reproducibility2 ±15 mK

Soldering standard J-STD-001 Class 2

1Recommended excitation for T < 1 K based on Lake Shore calibration procedures using an AC resistance bridge—for more information refer to Appendix D and Appendix E

2Short-term reproducibility data is obtained by subjecting sensor to repeated thermal shocks from 305 K to 4.2 K
