Molded Transition RTD – RM Style
Click to enlarge
Molded transition RTDs are industrial temperature sensors that feature a protective thermoset plastic transition, which connects the metal probe sheath to the flexible lead wires. The RTD is designed for high dielectric strength, resisting electrical interference, and includes built-in strain relief to prevent damage from sharp bends in demanding environments. Molded transition RTDs are custom-built with various temperature ratings, element options, and different probe materials to suit any need.
Eustis/Pyrocom manufactures high-quality molded transition RTDs from our select RTD products to withstand high-temperature environments. Contact us for more information about our molded transition RTDs or request a quote for more detailed specifications.
