A multipoint temperature sensor (10) for measuring fluid temperature in a du ct includes multiple thermistors (12) of equal resistance, spaced apart in a circuit. Each thermistor has a positive lead (32) and a negative lead (42) f or connecting electrically with the circuit. Wires connect the thermistors such that half of the thermistors are placed in parallel with the other half of t he thermistors. The total number of thermistors in the circuit is a perfect square. Shrinkwrap (56) fits over the thermistors (12) and the leads. Tabs (60) disposed on bridging clips (58) bend around the shrinkwrap and the wire s on either side of each thermistor such that the tabs do not overlap the lead s. All the wires between adjacent thermistors are contained in a single, plenum rated sheathing (30).
