2.4 Material used for sealing and encapsulation 3.4 Schematic diagram of connection mode
Many materials absorb moisture and act as buffer, of temperature sensor
which will increase response time and hysteresis.
Therefore, the material around the sensor should be
carefully selected. Recommended materials are:
metal materials, LCP, POM (Delrin), PTFE (Teflon),
PE, PEEK, PP, PB, PPS, PSU, PVDF, and PVF.
Material for sealing and bonding (conservative
recommendation): It is recommended to use method

materials may also contaminate AM1011A (see 2.1).

Therefore, the sensor should be finally assembled and Figure 5 Schematic diagram of temperature connection mode
