E3D Temperature sensor PT100/PT1000 (Original) for 3d printer accessories
E3D Temperature Sensor PT100/PT1000 (Original) for 3d printer accessories.
- E3D Temperature Sensor PT100/PT1000 (Original) is a high-precision RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensor designed for accurate hotend temperature measurement at higher temperatures than standard NTC thermistors.
- For users in India printing engineering materials or running high-temperature hotends, PT100 and PT1000 sensors provide more stable, accurate readings—helping maintain consistent extrusion and safer thermal control.
- PT100 sensors are widely used for high-temperature, high-accuracy measurement and are often chosen when thermistors become less accurate or reach their limits.
- The description notes PT100 can measure higher temperatures than thermistors (up to 420°C as stated) and is more accurate than typical thermistors and thermocouples. In many setups, a PT100 amplifier board is required to read the sensor properly (as stated), along with spare 5V, GND, and signal wiring.
- PT1000 is also an RTD sensor but is easier to integrate in many 3D printer electronics stacks because it does not require an external amplifier board (as stated), provided your controller supports reading it with a 4.7k pullup on the temperature input.
- This can simplify wiring and reduce extra components while still delivering RTD-style accuracy.
- This sensor is supplied in a durable cartridge format with a 3mm diameter and 15mm length, suitable for common heater block sensor holes. It includes a short red cable terminated with a Molex Microfit 3.0 connector, plus an extension cable, making it easier to disconnect and service your hotend without rewiring.
