Description Ruthenium oxide temperature sensors are thick-film resistors used in applications involving magnetic fields. These sensors are composite materials consisting of bismuth ruthenate, ruthenium oxides, binders, and other compounds to obtain the necessary temperature and resistance characteristics. Ruthenium oxide temperature sensors have some unique advantages over other temperature resistors. Most ruthenium oxide sensors have a maximum useful temperature limit well below room temperature where the sensitivity changes from negative to positive. This sensor also exhibits the lowest magnetic field-induced errors and best behavior of the three models and of other ruthenium oxide sensors on the market.
