Technical details and manufacturing context for Temperature Sensor Probe

Definition
A critical component of temperature monitoring systems that physically contacts or is immersed in the medium being measured. It detects temperature variations through its sensing element and transmits corresponding signals to the system's processing unit for real-time monitoring, control, and data logging.
Working Principle
Utilizes temperature-sensitive materials (thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors) that change electrical properties (resistance, voltage) with temperature. These changes are measured and converted into standardized signals for interpretation by monitoring equipment.
Common Materials
Stainless Steel, Platinum, Ceramic
Technical Parameters
  • Probe diameter and insertion length for proper immersion and thermal contact (mm) Standard Spec
Components / BOM
  • Sensing Element
    Detects temperature changes through electrical property variations
    Material: Platinum/Nickel/Copper
  • Protective Sheath
    Provides mechanical protection and environmental isolation
    Material: Stainless Steel/Ceramic
  • Connection Wires
    Transmits electrical signals to monitoring system
    Material: Copper with insulation
  • Termination
    Interface for connecting to monitoring equipment
    Material: Brass/Stainless Steel
Engineering Reasoning
-40°C to 125°C
150°C for silicon-based sensors, 180°C for platinum RTDs
Design Rationale: Thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between sensing element and substrate causing mechanical stress fractures at 150°C differential
Risk Mitigation (FMEA)
Trigger Moisture ingress through 0.1mm micro-cracks in epoxy encapsulation
Mode: Electrochemical migration forming conductive dendrites between 5V signal lines
Strategy: Hermetic laser welding with 0.01mm weld penetration depth using 316L stainless steel housing
Trigger Thermal cycling at 100°C/minute exceeding 10,000 cycles
Mode: Solder joint fatigue failure at 45° lead-free SAC305 solder interfaces
Strategy: Gold-plated spring contact design with 50N contact force maintaining <5mΩ resistance
