LM335Z Precision Temperature Sensor -40-100 °C

Linear Voltage Output Standard: Delivers a direct linear output voltage directly proportional to absolute Kelvin temperature 10 mV/K scale factor), operating like a two-terminal zener diode with temperature-dependent breakdown voltage.

Factory Calibrated Accuracy: Uncalibrated accuracy within -+ 2°C across its operating spectrum, with easy single-point calibration capable of sharpening operational precision down to -+ 1^C.

Wide Operational Thermal Spectrum: Reliably measures temperatures across a range of -40°C to +100°C, making it ideal for freeze control, environmental logging, and thermal protection circuits.

Dynamic Low-Impedance Drive: Features a low dynamic output impedance (0.6Ω typical over 400 uA to 5 mA operating current), enabling easy interface with microcontroller ADCs or comparator stages.

Compact TO-92 Packaging: Encased in a standard 3-pin TO-92 package for easy breadboard layout, socketing, or through-hole PCB assembly.

Housing Material: Standard molded plastic TO-92 through-hole package with three solid tin-plated copper leads.

Technical Specifications:

Sensor Type: Precision Analog Temperature Transducer IC.

Operating Current Range: 400uA – 5 mA

Temperature Measurement Range: -40°C – +100°C.

Scale Factor: 10 mV/K (2.98V output at 25°C / 298.15 K).

Package Type: TO-92 (3-Pin Through-Hole).

Enclosure Color: Black Molded Epoxy with Silver Pins.

Usage Advice: Connect the sensor in series with a current-limiting resistor to keep operating current between 400 uA and 5 mA ;calibrate at +25°C using the ADJ pin if higher precision is required.

Maintenance: Keep the through-hole leads free from corrosion and avoid direct immersion in conductive liquids without proper waterproof thermal sleeving.

Essential Analog Kelvin Transducer: Position as a versatile, easy-to-use linear temperature IC for HVAC controls, battery monitoring systems, power supply thermal protection, and STEM analog electronics labs.

Highlight Kelvin-Scale Simplicity: Emphasize how direct 10 mV/K scaling simplifies hardware calibration and differential temperature calculations.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with LM35DZ PrecisionTemperature Sensor IC, TMP36 Temperature Sensor, DS18B20 Digital Temperature Sensor, and ESD antistatic mat 50x40CM PCB Welding Mat.
