Abstract
A sensor for determining the pressure and temperature of the air in a vehicle tire and comprising temperature sensor elements decoupled from the temperature of the wheel rim and coupled to the temperature of the tire air. The temperature sensor elements are arranged on an insulating foil which is stretched over one of the openings of a cover cap which is fastened at the sensor housing so as to be thermally insulated. The temperature sensor elements are connected with connecting leads of the electronic circuit of the sensor via conductor paths of the insulating foil.
