Every engine needs precise temperature control to perform at its best. This temperature sensor kit gives you the critical data you need to monitor your engine's vital signs in real-time. Whether you're tracking coolant temperature, oil temperature, or water temperature, this sensor provides accurate readings within just 2°C of the actual temperature, helping you catch potential issues before they become expensive problems.
This sensor isn't just accurate—it's built to last. With an operating range from -40°F to an impressive 392°F, it can handle everything from winter cold snaps to intense summer heat. The brass construction ensures durability while the 1/2-inch hex design makes installation straightforward in tight engine bays. Weighing just 12.2 grams, it adds minimal bulk while delivering maximum performance.
Behind the scenes, this sensor features impressive technical specs that matter to serious enthusiasts. The thermal time constant of just 10 seconds means you get rapid, responsive readings when temperatures change. The dissipation constant of 12 megawatts per degree Celsius ensures consistent performance across all temperature ranges. This isn't a one-size-fits-all sensor—it's engineered specifically for the demands of high-performance engines.
Getting precise measurements shouldn't require a PhD in engineering. This kit includes everything you need for straightforward installation: the brass sensor body with standard 1/8-27 PTF threading, plus the connector with mating parts and pin locks. The recommended installation torque of 13.5Nm (10 foot-pounds) ensures a secure seal without risking damage to delicate engine components. It's designed to be installed by both professional mechanics and dedicated DIY enthusiasts.
Whether you're monitoring oil temperature in a turbocharged engine, coolant temperature in a daily driver, or water temperature in a racing application, this sensor delivers the reliability you need. It's particularly valuable for:
With its 5-volt DC power supply and standard connector design, this sensor integrates seamlessly with most engine management systems. It's not just about preventing overheating—it's about getting the most performance and longevity from your engine investment.
