Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a high temperature sensor, in particular a high temperature sensor for measuring the exhaust gas temperature of motor vehicles, comprising a sensor element and a protective tube which at least partially surrounds the sensor element. Said protective tube is closed on the hot side of the high temperature sensor by a shaping method, in particular moulding.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a protective cover for a high temperature sensor comprising a sensor element, a protective enveloping which at least partially surrounds the sensor element. Said protective cover is secured to the protective enveloping. Also, said protective cover is produced according to a deep-drawing method and/or the protect cover is produced by applying heat with subsequent fusion to at least one side and/or the protective cover is produced by closing the protective enveloping by means of a base stop, in particular by pressing and/or soldering, and/or the protective cover is produced by closing one side according to a shaping method, in particular tumbling, and/or a soldering method and/or said protective cover is secured to the protective tube according to a comparable method. According to the invention, said protective cover is welded and/or pressed to the protective cover.
