Description

Spectrum Sensors & Controls has developed a unique sensor that is capable of accurately monitoring air temperature within an enclosure. Until now, the most common technique for this type of application was to use a surface mounted sensor. The result was a product which did not accurately sense air temperature but rather sensed the temperature of the sheet metal to which it was attached. The Spectrum Sensors & Controls Snap-In air temp sensor integrates a fast response thermistor element into a potted metal housing with a special clip design that allows the housing to be easily and securely snapped into a 0.30" diameter pre-drilled hole in the sheet metal. A plastic molded body thermally isolates the assembly from the environment on the backside of the assembly while adding a degree of strain relief. The assembly uses low cost materials and efficient production techniques; this allows for a low cost assembly that is simple to use and extremely accurate and responsive. And since no tools are needed to install the Snap-In air temp sensor, both time and money can be saved in production and field service environments.

The Snap-In air temp sensor comes standard with 10ft. AWG#22, PVC insulated leads. Please contact the factory for specific design or application information or the availability of options.
