Abstract

A temperature sensor, particularly a high-temperature sensor, is provided in which an MI line or a heat-decoupling wire is arranged between the measurement resistor (chip) and the supply-line cable. Springs are stuck on the strands of the MI line, whereby the contacting to the measurement resistor is realized, or the heat-decoupling wire is stretched on one side to the end facing the measurement resistor and is connected elastically on the other end to the supply-line cable.

Claims (6)

1. A high-temperature sensor element for a turbocharger-overheating protection device, the sensor element comprising a chip fired in a casting compound within a jacket tube and connected elastically with bonding wires to strands of a mineral-insulated supply line, which lead out of the casting compound, wherein the bonding wires are wound elastically around the strands.

2. A high-temperature sensor element for a turbocharger-overheating protection device, the sensor element comprising a chip fired in a casting compound within a jacket tube and connected elastically with bonding wires to heat-decoupling wires, which lead out of the casting compound, wherein the heat-decoupling wires are essentially surrounded by a ceramic capillary tube and are connected to spiral-shaped connection cables at their end opposite the chip.

3. A turbocharger overheating protection device, comprising a high-temperature sensor element for a temperature range of −40° C. to 1200° C., the high-temperature sensor element comprising a chip ( 1 ) made of a platinum thin-film measurement resistor on an electrically insulating oxide substrate, which is embedded in a ceramic casting compound ( 2 ) and is connected electrically with spring-shaped bonding wires ( 3 ) to strands, which lead out of the casting compound ( 2 ), wherein the bonding wires are wound elastically around the strands.

4. A turbocharger overheating protection device, comprising a high-temperature sensor element for a temperature range of −40° C. to 1200° C., the high-temperature sensor element comprising a chip ( 1 ) made of a platinum thin-film measurement resistor on an electrically insulating oxide substrate, which is embedded in a ceramic casting compound ( 2 ) and is connected electrically with spring-shaped bonding wires ( 3 ) to heat-decoupling wires ( 4 ), which lead out of the casting compound ( 2 ), wherein the heat-decoupling wires ( 4 ) are surrounded essentially by a ceramic capillary tube ( 5 ) and are connected to spiral-shaped connection cables ( 6 ) at their end opposite the chip.

5. A method for the production of a high-temperature sensor element for a turbocharger overheating protection device, the method comprising firing a chip in a casting compound within a jacket tube, and elastically connecting the chip with bonding wires to strands, which lead out of the casting compound, wherein the bonding wires are wound elastically around the strands.

6. A method for the production of a high-temperature sensor element for a turbocharger overheating protection device, the method comprising firing a chip in a casting compound within a jacket tube, and elastically connecting the chip with bonding wires to heat-decoupling wires, which lead out of the casting compound, wherein the heat-decoupling wires are essentially surrounded by a ceramic capillary tube and are connected to spiral-shaped connection cables at their end opposite the chip.
