Description
The 7Semi PT1000 RTD 3-Wire Temperature Sensor Amplifier Breakout Board is designed for precision temperature measurement using a PT1000 platinum RTD. Built around the MAX31865 RTD-to-digital converter, this module supports 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire RTD configurations, with the 3-wire method providing improved accuracy by compensating for lead resistance. With onboard fault detection, a high-resolution ADC, and SPI communication, this breakout is ideal for industrial, laboratory, HVAC, and embedded temperature-sensing applications.
