Product Overview
The LM35DT/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision integrated-circuit temperature sensor with a linear 10 mV/°C output scale factor in a TO-220-3 through-hole package. It operates from 4V to 30V supply without external calibration, provides accuracy of ±0.5°C at 25°C, and measures temperature from -55°C to +150°C, making it ideal for direct temperature sensing in thermal management and environmental monitoring.
