Battery Cooling System Temperature Sensor

Applications

Measure cell or coolant temperature to protect cells, control charging/discharging,

Used directly by the BMS for thermal monitoring (cell-level and pack-level), thermal runaway detection thresholds, and charge-rate control.

Features

High Accuracy & Stability

Fast Thermal Response

low cost, easy to attach to cell surface or pouch using adhesive

Sealed/overmolded sensor assemblies with connectors — for harsh environments, IP-rated packs, and easy harnessing in automotive harnesses.

Fits inside battery modules without affecting space or thermal characteristics.

Low Self-Heating

Options

(Available on request)
