Abstract: A temperature probe in which mechanical oscillatory excitation that can lead to fracture of the connecting lines is prevented and the response time of the temperature probe to temperature changes is shortened. According to the invention, a resistance element is disposed in a flow window of the temperature probe which is formed by a protective bracket and which projects into a flow line. At least one of the connecting lines that is connected with the resistance element exhibits at least one bent point, which is held in at least one retaining opening formed in the protective bracket, whereby the connecting lines are stabilized. The temperature probe may be used for measuring the temperature of intake air in an intake pipe of a mixture-compressing, external-ignition internal combustion engine.
