  • Patent number: 10132689
    Abstract: The invention relates to a temperature sensor system comprising a temperature probe element and a first ceramic housing part. The temperature probe element comprises a sensor element and electrical feed lines. The first ceramic housing part comprises a sleeve-shaped lower part with a closed lower end and an open upper end, and an upper part connected to the open upper end. The sensor element is arranged in the sleeve-shaped lower part. The upper part has recesses in which the electrical feed lines are partially arranged and guided. The lower part and the upper part form one piece. Also disclosed is a method for producing a temperature sensor system.

  • Publication number: 20120175149
    Abstract: The invention relates to a functional module and a method for producing a functional module. The functional module includes an outer tube having a first and second end face and an inner surface. The functional module also includes an inner tube having a first and second end face and a lateral surface disposed within the outer tube. At least one molded part is disposed in a form-fitting manner between the inner surface of the outer tube and the shell surface of the inner tube. The functional module has a material with a positive temperature coefficient of electrical resistance. The first end face of the inner tube and the outer tube is disposed on an electrically isolative substrate and the molded part is thereby fixed between the outer tube and the inner tube by clamping force.
