The LTS420E-P is based upon the heating and cooling technology used in Linkam’s LTS420 stage. It has similar temperature control and range, and its dynamic heating and cooling performance ensures that most electrical component temperature control applications are covered.
The larger stage body allows up to 8 positional tungsten probes (other types can be used) to be attached to electrical connectors within the sample chamber and enables the user to make electrical measurements on the sample, while at the same time accurately controlling the temperature inside a gas tight environment.
The LTS420E consists of a large (53.5mm x 43mm) temperature controlled element with a platinum sensor embedded close to the surface for accurate temperature measurements. The sample is simply placed on the heating element and the probes moved manually to make contact at the appropriate points. Lemo connectors are supplied as standard, but BNC can be used instead.
