Abstract
A thermistor assembly for use in an environment of microwave radiation employs an interface metallic layer on the surface of a plastic insulation its conductors and a metal foil wrapped upon the thermistor head. The metal foil overlaps the interface metallic layer on the conductors. A surface metallic layer is electroplated on both the interface metallic layer and the metal foil to unite both into a single electrically conducting layer effective to exclude microwave radiation from the interior thereof and thus to avoid direct microwave heating of the thermistor or the electrical conductors in the vicinity of the thermistor.
