<p>New thermistor assemblies and methods for making such thermistor assemblies are disclosed. In one embodiment, the present thermistor assembly (10) comprises a thermistor (14) including a thermistor element (20), a protective coating (22) substantially surrounding the thermistor element (20) and electrically conductive lead wires (24, 26) in electrical communication with the thermistor element (20) and extending beyond the protective coating (22); an elongated member (16) including electrically conductive extension wires (28, 30) each of which is bonded to a different one of the lead wires (24, 26) in a bonding zone (36), and an electrically insulating covering (32) located on said extension wires (28, 30) proximal of the bonding zone (36); and an electrically insulating thermally conductive overcoating (18) located over said protective coating (22), lead wires (24, 26) and the bonding zone (36), and being derived from a mixture comprising at least one polymerizable component and at least one thixotropic component.</p> |
