Micro-Measurements LT02 and LT10 series bondable resistors for transducers

To meet the growing demand for precise compensation resistors used in building transducers such as load cells, Micro-Measurements’ bondable resistors for transducers are now being built on Advanced Sensors Technology and feature high-purity nickel.

The LT02 and LT10 series of fixed-value nickel resistors offer tight resistance tolerance and repeatable performance for use in transducer bridge completion circuits. The Advanced Sensors bondable nickel resistors are built on a manufacturing process said to result in a tighter tolerance, better stability and shorter lead times when compared to conventional manufacturing techniques.

For high accuracy, precision strain gauge-based transducers require compensation for several undesirable influences, most notably the influence of temperature change. These compensations are typically effected using precision resistors of various values and temperature sensitivities. Micro-Measurements offers a complete line of bondable precision resistors for use as transducer compensation elements. The fixed-value resistors are typically used for adjusting the full-scale span output with temperature changes; they are therefore normally produced in high-TCR resistive alloys such as Balco or nickel.
