The MAF sensor has a tiny platinum wire in it.
You need to be more specific about the type of sensors you need information on. ie Automotive, Industrial, Automation?
yes in how they are made, no on what type of vehicle they will fit and function properly

According to our adviser, Prof. Joel Barrera, the types of temperature sensors which is widely used in automotive industries are: 1. Thermometer 2. Thermocouples 3. Thermistors 4. Resistance Temperature Detector 5. Thermostats
Ultrasonic sensors are commonly used for distance measurement, object detection, and collision avoidance in various industries such as automotive, manufacturing, and robotics. They are also used in security systems, parking sensors, and medical imaging applications.
Platinum is a metal. It is a rare and precious metal known for its resistance to corrosion and high value in various industries such as jewelry, electronics, and automotive.
Some examples of platinum include platinum jewelry, platinum catalysts used in chemical reactions, and platinum electrodes in certain electronic devices. Platinum is also used in the automotive industry for catalytic converters.
Modern vehicles are equipped with multiple temperature sensors. They are used to advise the engine computer and driver on the condition of the vehicle systems. Common automotive temperature sensors include coolant, transmission, ambient air temperature and engine oil.
A catalytic converter is an automotive emissions device that uses heated metal compounds (notably platinum) to remove unburned fuel from exhaust gases.
Digital sensors are devices that convert physical phenomena, such as temperature, light, or pressure, into digital signals that can be processed by computers or microcontrollers. Unlike analog sensors, which produce continuous signals, digital sensors output discrete values, often in binary form, making them easier to integrate with digital systems. They are widely used in various applications, including consumer electronics, automotive systems, and industrial automation, due to their accuracy and reliability.
High Authority Sensors Use Physical and Chemical Data, Known as reactions to Monitor, Relay, or Instruct a Process to Function, Operate, Process, Detect, React, Change, or Cause aChemical, Mechanical, or Physical Position, Disposition, Action, or Reaction based on process funtion...These All Communicate due to Charge and Energy Laws and are the Vital System Sensors that have the Most Effect in that system... Most High Authority Sensors in Automobiles are MAF, MAP(Manifold Absolute Pressure / INTAKE VACUUM), O2(Polution), ECT (ENGINE COOLANT TEMP), IAT(INTAKE AIR TEMP), CPS(CRANK POSITON SENSOR), CAM PS, VSS(VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR), IAC Valve(IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE), ECU, PCM (COMPUTER), Brake Sensor For Traction Control and ABS, TPS(Throttle POSITION SENSOR), BCM(BODY CONTROL MODULE), ANTI THEFT SENSORS, LIGHT SENSORS(REACTIVE RESISTORS), TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE SENSORS, AIR BAG SENSORS, CRASH SENSORS)FUEL TANK SAFTEY SENSORS, BRAKE PEDAL SENSORS, just to name common terms... They all Are Vital any where to fuel economy, to pollution , to VEHICLE OPERATION, to Saftey....

The most common materials used for RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensors are platinum, nickel, and copper. Platinum is the most commonly used material due to its high accuracy and stability in a wide temperature range.
