Furthermore, the object is solved by an exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement (1), preferably comprising such a wire shielding (9), and a method for assembling the exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement (1).
Abstract:
A temperature sensor element has such a structure as, when reinforcing lead wires on internal electrodes with a paste, one side surface of each of the lead wires is covered with a reinforcement paste and the other side surface is not covered with the reinforcement paste without covering the entire lead wires welded and connected to the internal electrodes. This allows elimination of cause of cracks generating, thereby securing sufficient joining strength and reinforcement of conductivity of the internal electrodes and the lead wires, and securing connection strength between the lead wires and the internal electrodes.

Abstract:
Temperature sensors and, in particular, temperature sensors of the thermocouple (TC) and resistance temperature detector (RTD) types. The temperature sensors are manufactured by sequential deposition of insulating and temperature sensor layers onto a substrate via thick film techniques. The temperature sensor layer includes a temperature sensor element, which may be configured as a conductor pair forming a thermocouple junction or as a resistance temperature detector filament. The substrate may optionally be roll formed after thick film processing from a flat, manufacturing configuration into a tube shaped use configuration, in which the layers and temperature sensor elements are disposed within an interior of the device. The conductors or filaments of temperature sensor elements may extend along the length of the sensor substrate to minimize the number of electrical connections present, thereby easing manufacture and decreasing points of potential operational failure.
