Product details
Overview
5B37-R-05 from Analog Devices is a single-channel isolated thermocouple input signal conditioner for Type R thermocouples, delivering 0 V to +5 V isolated output with ±0.05% span accuracy, 1500 Vrms input-to-output isolation, and 4 Hz bandwidth. It features chopper-stabilized amplification (±1 µV/°C input offset drift), internal cold-junction compensation (±0.25°C error at +25°C), and 240 Vrms continuous input protection-used in industrial temperature monitoring systems requiring high noise immunity and hazardous-area compliance.
For engineers reviewing the 5B37-R-05 datasheet, 5B37-R-05 pinout, 5B37-R-05 application, or 5B37-R-05 equivalent, key selection criteria include thermocouple type support (R), input range (0°C to +1750°C), isolation rating (1500 Vrms), cold-junction compensation accuracy, and hot-swappable 5B-series compatibility with standard backplanes.
Technical Context
The 5B37-R-05 implements transformer-coupled signal isolation with proprietary modulation for linear, stable transfer across 1500 Vrms. Its chopper-stabilized input amplifier achieves ±1 µV/°C input offset drift and supports precise zero suppression via laser-trimmed offset subtraction.
It integrates multi-pole low-pass filtering (4 Hz –3 dB cutoff) yielding 60 dB normal-mode rejection at 60 Hz and 160 dB common-mode rejection with 1 kΩ source imbalance. The module uses a differential floating field-side input and requires output common within ±3 V of power common.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar thermocouple signal conditioning applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5B37-S-05 | Same package, pinout, and isolation; supports Type S thermocouple (0°C to +1750°C) with identical specs except CJC calibration curve | Used where Type S thermocouples replace Type R due to higher oxidation resistance above 1200°C | Select 5B37-S-05 only when sensor type matches S; not interchangeable without recalibration |
| ADAM-4018 | 8-channel Ethernet-enabled module; no transformer isolation; 1500 VDC isolation via optocouplers; ±0.1% accuracy; 10 Hz bandwidth | Designed for networked distributed I/O rather than plug-in backplane integration | Choose ADAM-4018 for remote, IP-connected deployments; 5B37-R-05 remains optimal for centralized, hot-swappable rack systems |
Compared with 5B37-S-05 and ADAM-4018, the 5B37-R-05 uniquely combines Type R-specific cold-junction compensation, transformer-based 1500 Vrms isolation, and true hot-swap capability in a standardized 5B form factor-making it irreplaceable in FM/CSA-certified, backplane-based industrial control cabinets requiring R-type thermocouple fidelity.

FAQ
What thermocouple types does the 5B37-R-05 support?
The 5B37-R-05 is specifically calibrated for Type R thermocouples, covering 0°C to +1750°C. It does not support other thermocouple types-each 5B37 variant (e.g., 5B37-K-02, 5B37-S-05) is factory-configured for its designated type. Using a Type R thermocouple with the 5B37-R-05 ensures correct cold-junction compensation and full accuracy specification compliance.
Does the 5B37-R-05 require external cold-junction compensation?
No-the 5B37-R-05 includes internal cold-junction compensation with ±0.25°C accuracy at +25°C ambient. It relies on the AC1361 cold-junction sensor integrated into compatible 5B-series backplanes. No external sensor or circuitry is needed when used with standard 5B mounting hardware.
What is the maximum continuous input voltage the 5B37-R-05 can withstand?
The 5B37-R-05 withstands 240 Vrms continuously at its input screw terminals without damage. This protects downstream data acquisition or control systems from field-side overvoltage faults, a critical feature for industrial installations with long sensor leads exposed to electrical noise or accidental contact.
Can the 5B37-R-05 be hot-swapped in an energized 5B backplane?
Yes-the 5B37-R-05 is fully hot-swappable with all 5B-series backplanes. It may be inserted or removed while the system is powered and operating, without interrupting field wiring, power, or communication to other modules. This enables maintenance and reconfiguration without system downtime.
What output voltage range does the 5B37-R-05 provide?
The 5B37-R-05 provides a precision 0 V to +5 V isolated output signal, referenced to output common. The output is buffered, low-impedance (50 Ω), and capable of driving loads >50 kΩ while maintaining specified accuracy and linearity per the datasheet.
