- LINEAR COMPENSATION
- PRC's type PT/ST (+) TCR Characteristics +3500 PPM/°C. linear tracking temperature sensitive resistors help you develop the desired compensation for true RMS measurements and can offset errors in dB output circuits.
- TOLERANCE FOR (+) 3500 PPM/°C.
- Less than ±100 PPM/°C from +25°C. to +100°C. If you are looking for a systems offset of +3350 PPM/°C to +3450 PPM/°C. try a few engineering samples of our (std.) off-the-shelf compensators. We are confident you can achieve dramatic results. The element wire used on our type PT/ST, as a rule, is very close to +3350 PPM/°C. @ +25°C. & lower than +3450 PPM/°C. @ +100°C. See figure #4 shown below.
- TRACKING CHART
- Constant temperature oil bath computer tracking charts are available to match your temperature span & behavior specs exactly.
- COMPENSATORS VS. POWER
- PRC's positive (+) TCR resistors are used to offset negative (-) ambient temperature changes or counter self-generating shifts in resistance w/ an excitation of power to .25W @ +125°C. Derated to zero watts @ +150°C.
- STABILITY
- Standard: ±.05%/year @ +25°C. with no load.
- Special: Less than ±.01%/year @ +25°C. with no load.
- PROTECTIVE SEAL
- Standard: Conformal silicone or epoxy case.
- Special: Thermal conductive insulating coatings or uncoated.
- MARKING
- PRC stamp, part type, resistance value, tolerance & TCR characteristics, physical size permitting.
- TAPE & REEL
- Have your parts delivered to you in tape & reel form by simply specifying Tape & Reel instead of bulk when placing your order. For detailed information on all the individual specifications for the tape & reel delivery option, click the Tape & Reel Chart

CAN'T FIND THE PART TO MATCH YOUR SPECS?
Then let PRC custom manufacture your wire wound resistor, sensor, or shunt with some of the shortest lead times in the industry. Engineering samples can be supplied at no cost to you in 7-10 days for most jobs. Computer tracking charts are available for reference with certain part types. If you need a specific marking on your part(s) we will custom print your order with the marking you desire & at no additional cost to you. If needed, you can interchange the size, shape, lead dimension, wattage, voltage, current, Ω value, tolerance, & TCR characteristics with most part types. Visit our PTS Series & see if one of our other parts from the same series will satisfy all your requirements. If you still do not find a part that meets the exact specifications your application requires, simply follow the link Contact/Request For Quote & fill in all known spec fields. One of our highly trained engineers will review your objectives and see if we can modify one of our standard parts to satisfy all your requirements. If you are unsure how to accurately complete this form, give us a call & someone from our sales department will be more than happy to assist you.
OFF THE SHELF FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY
Thru-hole & SMD designs are available for evaluation & testing. We have our PT series for 2 terminal type or our AT35 for 4 terminal type. If your specs call for surface mounted parts our type ST35 is a drop in replacement for the thru-hole part w/ interchangeable specs. All our (std.) 1000Ω ±1% +3500 PPM Compensators are in stock & ready to be shipped in just a few days or less!
CUSTOM COMPENSATORS
We can customize any of our compensators to fit your specs in any Ohmic value from 1Ω to 50KΩ We have pure metals, alloys, & composite wire windings available. All of which are extremely linear, reasonably priced & delivered quickly.
