Patent ID: 7665890

Claim:
A temperature sensor assembly comprising: at least one temperature probe having a probe body and a temperature sensor and at least one conductor configured to provide a temperature signal indicative of a temperature over the at least one conductor; a mounting connector configured to secure the probe body to a mounting assembly; a wire set having at least one wire corresponding to the at least one conductor, the at least one wire having a first end and a second end, the first end of the at least one wire being coupled to the at least one conductor at a coupled portion; a transition component surrounding the coupled portion of the at least one conductor and the least one wire of the wire set; a housing having an input configured to receive the second end of the at least one wire of the wire set and an output for coupling to a temperature measurement system and providing a temperature characteristic; and a circuit enclosed within the housing, the circuit being configured to receive the temperature signal from the temperature probe and generate the temperature characteristic in response to the received temperature signal, wherein the temperature probe is external to the housing.
