Pt100 alternative

[gabi68]

Hi to all,

I need a PT100 sensor because the old one failed (one wire detached from the barrel) . I found one on 3djake, quite expensive, but I bought it. My questions to more knowledgeable people:

• can some other sensors be used (same family PT100)?
• where I can find that type of "replacement" sensors?
• there is a way to reinforce the sensors from e3d or other vendors?

Thank you

Hi,

Can you use a PT1000 ?
uses the standard thermistor socket but much higher temp rating 450cish I believe.
