The OTG-PM is made with industry standard optical fiber and is compatible with all Opsens Solutions’ GaAs (SCBG) signal conditioners. Its small size and fast response time are perfectly tailored for complicated instrumentation projects, such as those related to power semiconductor devices.
The miniature sensor head (0.15×0.15 mm) protected by a tube (0.22 mm OD) is handling through a clever retractable design: rigid ceramic tubing (0.64 mm OD) allows for easy piercing of the silicone gel layer for precise sensor positioning. The upper stainless-steel tubing coated with Teflon is curved to optimize eye contact from any viewing angle during manipulation.
To facilitate the mounting and instrumentation of the power modules, the sensor is equipped with a bracket that allows for quick and precise angle adjustment while ensuring the required stability. Delivering unprecedented repeatability and reliability in the most adverse conditions such as high levels of EM, RF, MR and microwave field environments, the sensor is deployed in many power electronics modules or converters for quality control, reliability assessment, or permanent surveillance of those critical devices.
This compact and robust fiber optic temperature sensor is available with different optical cables and sheath options and is customizable according to customer specific applications or for OEM-type applications.
