ANAHEIM, CA (February 26, 2007) - Providing design engineers with a compact device capable of enhancing the accuracy of temperature measurement in power electronic applications, TT electronics BI Technologies Electronic Components Division offers a cold junction compensation module for thermocouples. Designated the Model 143-131A, the CJC module features a hybrid SIP configuration to minimize board space.

"The CJC Module achieves accurate compensation by utilizing laser-trimming and an environmentally stable, robust construction that includes a ceramic base and hybrid technology," said Mike Ochoa-Hougan, product manager for BI Technologies Electronic Components Division. "This module improves the accuracy of temperatures measured with thermocouples, including power electronics such as heatsinks and electric motors."

The CJC module is available in a standard three-terminal package and utilizes an active semiconductor that enhances the accuracy of temperature measurements when used with standard thermocouples. The module is compatible with most data acquisition manufacturers' mounting boards and terminal blocks.

The 143-131A Cold Junction Compensation module features an output voltage slope of
-2.5mV/°C and an accuracy of ±1.25°C within the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. BI Technologies will also produce devices outside these specifications to meet customer requirements.

Typical pricing for the cold junction compensation module is approximately $3.00 each in volume, with lead times from stock to 8 weeks.
