Temperature Development of C2 Series after Power-Up
This section gives information about the temperature development of C2 series after power-up. A
total of three temperature measurement cases are shown and compared.
The first case indicates the development of internal temperature and external housing temperature
after power-up without any additional mounted heat sink. This case is very unlike, because in most
industrial applications the C2 sensor is mounted on a heat conductive carrier (e.g. metal plate), which
works as a heat dissipater. The operation of C2 sensor without any metal plate (e.g. during evaluation
and/or testing in laboratory environment), requires the mount of a heat sink on the housing.
The other two cases show the temperature development after power-up with one and two mounted
heat sinks. In all test cases the ambient temperature was 22 °C.
