Abstract
A temperature-sensing module is described, including a measuring element sensitive to temperature, such as an NTC resistor. In order to reduce the thermal influence of the housing of the element and of the electrical connection, and also to improve the mechanical stability and resistance against vibrations, the connection wires of the element are attached to conductive webs formed side-by-side on a carrier plate of an electrically and thermally insulating material. The conductive webs at one end have enlarged areas which are connected to the connection wires of the sensitive element, and the connecting part of each web is relatively narrow in cross section and has a meander-like configuration. The transition between the enlarged part and the meander-like part is further restricted in cross section to reduce the thermal influence to a minimum. The other end of the meander-like conductive parts is again enlarged in area and forms a contact terminal points attachable to the pins of the connector plug, for example.
