A temperature sensor is a device that detects and measures heat or coolness and converts it into an electrical signal. We design and manufacture a broad portfolio of temperature sensors – including our NTC thermistors, RTDs, thermocouples and digital sensors – engineered for accuracy, efficiency, and straightforward integration. Built for reliability across the worlds harshest environments, our sensors deliver stable performance and support the development of advanced, energy-efficient systems.
Features and Benefits
Customizable Designs and Specifications
- Meeting customer requirements with application specific packaging from first level devices to complex assemblies. Applications range from ultra-miniature assemblies for medical to heavy duty for process controls and aerospace.
Stable, Reliable Accuracy
- Our core temperature technologies - NTC, RTD, thermocouple, and digital temperature – deliver high accuracy with excellent long-term stability. Customizable options through trimming, advanced metallurgy, performance-certification and digital calibration are available.
Broad Operating Range, Proven Robustness
- We offer a broad selection of temperature sensing solutions that are designed to from extreme cold to +1000 °C, using robust materials such as stainless steel, ceramics, glass, epoxy, and metal-sheathed probes for demanding mechanical, chemical, and fluid-exposed environments.
Reliable Electrical Performance
- Robust digital (I²C/SPI) and analog (RTD/NTC) interfaces, with low-power digital options and designs that minimize noise sensitivity, wiring errors, and front-end complexity. Factory-trimmed or calibrated digital options help reduce system-level error and eliminate manual calibration.
From NTCs and RTDs to thermocouples and digital ICs, TE Connectivity engineers temperature sensors from the element up - designed to perform where thermal extremes challenge accuracy and reliability. This video highlights how application insight, rugged packaging, EMC-robust designs, and flexible analog and digital interfaces come together to help engineers integrate the right temperature sensing technology for medical, industrial, aerospace, and many other performance-critical industries.
