    Data Temperature
AI Thread Summary
If the operating temperature is not specified in a device's data sheet, it does not imply that the device can function at any temperature, including extreme lows like -90 degrees Celsius. It likely indicates that the manufacturer has not tested the device at varying temperatures, possibly defaulting to a standard operating temperature of around 25 degrees Celsius. Users are encouraged to contact the manufacturer directly for accurate information regarding temperature limits, as this is more reliable than forum discussions. Typically, data sheets should include both operational and storage temperature limits. The absence of this information raises concerns about the device's specifications and reliability.

if operating temperature in a data sheet is not given??

if the operating temperature is not mentioned in the data sheet of a device, does it mean that the temperature is a non-issue and that it can operate at any temperature?even -90celsius??

No.
Probably means it can only operate at 25 degree C.

Can you post a link to the datasheet?
 


better yet...i've attached the data sheet...

It probably means that the manufacture has not tested it at temperature.
Manufacture has a free telephone number that you can call. Call the manufacture and ask him. The answer you get will be much more reliable than anything that you get on an engineering forum.
 


there's a metal to glass seal someplace in that device. The manufacturer's ceramic engineer knows its limits and I'm surprised it's not in the datasheet. Usually the limit for operation and storage are both given.

I bet Perkin-Elmer will appreciate your pointing it out.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
