Global Excellence in Temperature Sensors
The Thermometrics temperature product line contributes
more than 70 years of technology experience in the
design and manufacture of high quality sensors to the
Amphenol Advanced Sensors portfolio of sensor-based
solutions.
Thermometrics pioneered lead frame technology,
unifying the probe terminal and thermistor lead into a
single constructed metal substrate. This innovation was
the building block to today’s fully automated volume
production process, which ensures the highest degree of
quality and performance.
Thermometrics continues to invest in leading edge
temperature sensor and sensor packaging technology for
the Thermometrics product line, particularly in developing
custom solutions for industry and for specific customer
application needs. From chips to value-added assemblies
and for temperature ranges from -196ºC to 1150ºC,
Thermometrics products play a vital role in measurement,
control and protection of industrial- and consumer-based
applications worldwide.

Critical Information for
Real Time Decisions
For Flight
From cabin comfort to test cell
systems monitoring, our sensors play
a role in temperature measurement
for commercial, civil and military
aerospace applications—fixed-wing
and rotary, and both engine and
airframe.
Sensors monitor engine thrust,
reliability and emissions in test
cells, while also monitoring test cell
throughput. In the cabin, our HVAC
sensors provide climate control for
a comfortable environment while
a variety of other sensors monitor
temperature in appliances like coffee
makers, microwaves and refrigerators.
On the Road
Today’s increasingly complex engine
management systems rely upon
sensors to monitor, measure and
control vehicle performance including
fuel economy, safety, and control of
exhaust emissions.
Our comprehensive product range
includes temperature sensors for use
in coolant or transmission fluid; high
temperature sensors to measure
exhaust gas temperature; IR, gas and
humidity sensors for cabin comfort;
and solar and light sensors.
Our single-piece leadframe
construction reduces the number of
interconnections and ensures more
reliable performance.
At the Office
Electronic circuitry and sensitive
system components demand
thermistor protection and control.
Our custom-design capability and
problem solving expertise mean that
we can offer innovative solutions in
circuit protection; and temperature
measurement and control.
Our sensors excel at applications
such as process control energy
management, HVAC systems, power
supplies, transformers, motor soft start
and general time delay units. They
are used to control critical process
temperature.
Our simple-to-integrate sensors are
designed to meet the rapidly changing
demands of deregulated and global
markets for high-technology sensors.

Around the Home
Today’s consumers expect their
everyday appliances to deliver reliable
and efficient performance. Electronic
sensors offer improved accuracy
over electromechanical solutions
and are designed to perform over a
very wide range of temperatures and
specifications. Our sensors play a vital
part in measuring and controlling
the temperature of water, steam,
air and food. They are also used for
flow measurement, level control, and
overload protection and in combination
with other sensors for multiple
functions.
Temperature sensors can be found
all around the home in boilers and
water heaters, washing machines,
dishwashers, stoves, microwave ovens,
irons, toasters, refrigerators and deep
freezers.
For Healthcare
We have developed state-of-the-art,
high-performance sensors known
for their accuracy, reliability and
small size. Used extensively for heart
catheters, esophageal stethoscopes,
fever thermometers, skin sensors,
blood analyzers, incubators, respiration
monitors and hypodermic needle
sensors, they help meet many
temperature-related requirements.
Innovative work on small precision
sensors continues for cancer research.
Thermistors measure the temperature
of cells and with precise monitoring,
doctors can use heat to destroy
diseased cells in tumors.
In the Plant
Our custom-design capability and
problem solving expertise mean that
we can provide innovative solutions
in circuit protection, temperature
measurement and control, liquid level
detection and gas flow measurement.
We have one of the most extensive
product ranges of industrial
temperature sensors in the world.
With new markets emerging worldwide,
our global sensor manufacturing centers
meet local content demands and
allow us to exceed specific customer
requirements. Along with the best
manufacturing and test equipment,
our strict manufacturing processes and
quality procedures ensure the highest
standards for your applications.
