Temperature sensor such as negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensor has thermally conducting element with molding facing into housing forming flat contact for sensor element

摘要

The device has a housing (2) of insulating material, a thermal sensor element (6) fixed near a thermally conducting element (3) consisting of a section of sheet material mounted on or forming a housing wall. Connecting elements (7) are connected to the sensor element and protrude out of the housing. The thermally conducting element has a molding (8) facing into the housing forming a flat contact for the sensor element and an opposing counter molding (10) forming heat transferring ribs (11) and/or protrusions (12).
