Delphi Fluid Temperature Sensors


Delphi Fluid Temperature Sensors are continuous function
devices that change resistance inversely to temperature. They
measure the temperature of oil, fuel, water or engine coolant and
provide a signal to the powertrain control module. These brass
sensors consist of four major components:

• Brass shell
• Thermal grease
• Gasket
• Insert molded connector

The shell uses customized thread and hex sizes per application
requirements and the connector contains a Negative Temperature
Coefficient (NTC) thermistor with a crimpless conductive path.

Benefits

• Simple design with few components for cost-effective,


lightweight package Delphi Fluid Temperature Sensors
• Design flexibility with customized mounting features, sealing
options, connection systems, and resistance output
• Crimpless conductive path eliminates an electrical interface
• 100 percent resistance calibration verification helps ensure quality and reliability
• Packaging variations include a dual coolant (coolant and gauge sensors), a right angle connection, and a reduced
size for small engine applications
