Description:
Ruggedized sensor is designed to offer a robust solution for monitoring temperature in difficult
environments. This product is especially useful in high moisture applications where the sensor is subjected to
continuous freeze/thaw cycles.Ice build up is a common condition in many HVAC, appliance, refrigeration and food service applications. With standard temperature sensors, ice can exert a significant mechanical force on the wire or cable, often allowing water to breach the end seal of the probe. Once water is inside the housing, subsequent freeze/thaw cycles can provide a direct moisture path to the thermistor element.The unique, swaged end design from Jackcon offers an excellent moisture seal between the cable and the housing. It has the added benefit of providing a superior mechanical bond for strain relieving the sensor and internal connections. This isolates the thermistor element not only from the outside moisture but also from the high stresses that can be associated with freezing and thawing.The ruggedized temperature sensor can incorporate a wide variety of thermistor curves and resistances. Other options include cable lengths and terminals. It can also be used with the Jackcon Clip-On for 3/8" and 1/2" copper pipes
