The Temperature sensor PT100 is a type of temperature sensor based on the principle of changing the resistance of a metal wire when the temperature changes. The PT100 is a specific form of temperature sensor based on this principle, where “PT” stands for Platinum, and “100” represents the resistance threshold at 0 °C.

There are two main types of PT100:

1. 3-wire PT100: There are three wires in contact with platinum metal wire. The first two wires are usually used to create a resistor circuit that matches the sensor’s resistance value, while the third wire is used to measure the actual resistance value of the sensor.
2. 4-wire PT100: There are four wires in contact with platinum metal wire. The first two pairs of wires are used to create the correct resistance circuit, and the other two are used to measure the actual resistance value without being affected by capacitors or instability in the wiring.

The Temperature sensor PT100 is commonly used in applications that require high accuracy in temperature measurement and control, such as in industry, medical, and scientific research. To read data from the PT100 sensor, it is necessary to use devices that read and convert the resistance to the corresponding temperature value.
