As was previously highlighted, the Mini Lug Temperature Sensor’s response time and thermal gradient are important features for designers looking to obtain temperature measurements quickly and accurately. As is shown on the graph, the Mini Lug outperforms a typical industry lug sensor in response time. To be more specific, the Mini Lug Sensor is 65% faster than the standard lug sensor. The thermal gradient is less than 4°C in the example, compared to 10°C for the standard industry lug.
