A novel waveguide assembly (30) for use in an IR thermometer of the type used in measuring temperature of the tympanic membrane of the ear for body temperature determinations. The assembly (30) provides a unique arrangement of spacers (20) and a protective sheath (30) to create a durable yet inexpensive waveguide. The spacer (20) includes radially offset contact points (23) that induce moment arms to absorb shock and other forms of rough handling encountered in daily use.
