10 mV/°C — direct-reading analog temperature sensor
The Texas Instruments LM35DZ/NOPB is an analog local temperature sensor that outputs 10 mV per degree Celsius — a DMM reading 750 mV means 75.0°C, no scaling resistor or digital conversion needed. Rated for 0°C to 100°C local sensing with a highest accuracy of ±1.5°C, it suits equipment monitoring, thermal shutdown detection, and ambient compensation in control panels.
TO-92 through-hole — breadboard and repair-friendly
Housed in a TO-226-3 / TO-92-3 package (supplier device package TO-92-3), the three leads are on 0.100-inch pitch — hand-solderable, breadboard-compatible, and easy to socket for prototyping or field replacement. Supplied in Bulk packaging, so it arrives loose in an anti-static bag rather than on a reel — typical for low-volume builds, repair stock, or lab bench inventory.
4 V to 30 V supply — one part for 5 V and 24 V rails
The 4 V to 30 V supply range means the same LM35DZ/NOPB works from a regulated 5 V logic rail or a 24 V industrial supply without an external regulator — the output still scales 10 mV/°C regardless of the supply voltage. Accuracy is specified at 25°C test condition; expect the ±1.5°C band to widen slightly at the temperature extremes, typical for a non-calibrated-grade analog sensor.
