Temperature sensors are available in a wide variety of technological and mechanical designs, e.g. with NTC or PTC thermistors as sensor elements, as SMD chips for mounting on circuit boards or as complex sensor elements with encapsulated housings and connecting wires. They are used, for example, in ovens, refrigerators/freezers, or engine compartments and are exposed to very different ambient and environmental conditions. It may be necessary to protect the sensor elements from media such as oil or water and still realize a good thermal connection. For this purpose, the temperature sensor can be encapsulated in glass, metal, or an epoxy.
