Abstract

An apparatus for temperature sensing is disclosed that includes a sensor tube and a cable assembly connected to and extending from said sensor tube wherein said cable assembly communicates electrically with the sensor tube for temperature sensing operations thereof. An O-ring component can be selected based on an inner diameter of said sensor tube and an outer diameter of said cable assembly, wherein said o-ring component is crimped in order to seal and protect said sensor tube from de-alignment and misplacement and located co-axial to said sensor tube and said cable assembly, thereby providing an enhanced mechanical strength and prevention against leakage or ingress of moisture from or to said sensor tube.
