LM26: Trip points mixed up in datasheet (SHA vs. SHP)?

Part Number: LM26

Hi team,

I have an issue related to the trip point setting specified in the datasheet of the LM26 Factory-Preset Thermostat (SNIS115S – May 2001, revised 09/2015):

Do you confirm, that the specified trip point setting value of the LM26CIM5-SHA and LM26CIM5-SHP are mixed up in the device comparison table according to the information given in the part number template? This seems to be obvious, but I need your confirmation since latest measurement results do not confirm this assumption.

Best regards

  • Arnfinn,

    Thanks you for bringing this to our attention. Can you explain what you mean by latest measurement results do not confirm this assumption?\

    Have you ordered one of the orderables? What is the corresponding trip point measured?

  • Hi Arnfinn,

    I would expect the 11.4 Part Number Template to be correct. Does this match your test result?

    thanks,

  • Hi Jalen & Ren,

    thank you for your responses. The latest measurement results are logging data I got from a system which are not related to a component test. Due to the LM26's precision of +/-3°C and the precision of the additional thermal sensor being used the result cannot be used as a proof, but in the moment the LM26CIM5-SHA tripped, a temperature of 75°C has been reported which raises some doubts that the previous asumption of a typo in the Device Comparison Table.

    It is just a formal issue but I need a statement since this value is related to a requirement. Can you please confirm, that the LM26CIM5-SHA with the top mark "TSHA" has a specified trip point of 70°C according to table 11.4 and that the specified trip point values of LM26CIM5-SHA and LM26CIM5-SPA in the Device Comparison Table are not correct?

    Thank you very much for your support,

    best regards,

    Arnfinn

  • Arnfinn,

    Thank you for explaining your test setup/the test condition. I very well understand where the confusion and uncertainty comes from now.

    I will test both the SHA and SPA in an oil bath which has a tighter controlled temperature environment. Once I receive the data, I will be able to confirm which table is correct.

    Please expect a response with the results from that data early next week.

    Enjoy your weekend,

    Jalen

  • Hi Jalen,

    in the meantime I searched for older datasheets for the LM26 from National Semiconductor:

    March 2005: there is no inconsistency between both tables, therefore it really seems to be just a typo.

    Anyway I am looking forward to refer to you measurements. Best regards and thank you for your effort.

  • Hi Arnfinn,

    I can confirm that the LM26CIM5-SHA has a trip point of 70°C.

    With this in mind, please follow the device markings in section 11.4 of the datasheet for proper set point temperature.

    Thanks again for bringing this up, hope this information helps.

  • Hi Jalen,

    thank you for confirming - this solved my issue.

    Best regards,
