Patent ID: 8444318

Claim:
A temperature sensor, comprising: a measuring resistor which is accommodated inside a protective tube having a proximal end; a sensor head with a measurement insert for electrically connecting the measuring resistor with a measuring transducer located downstream thereof to condition measurement signals, the sensor head being connected to the proximal end and being formed by a housing having an intermediate base, the measurement insert being accommodated in a lower housing section which is adjacent to the measuring resistor and is sectioned off by the intermediate base, and the measuring transducer being accommodated in an opposite, upper housing section such that the measurement insert and the measuring transducer are individually detachable from the intermediate base; a single coaxial contact-pressure spring to electrically connect the measuring resistor to the measurement insert, wherein the spring is configured with the intermediate base, formed as a pot, to at least partially axially surround the measuring transducer.
