Automotive & EV Temperature Sensors

Automotive and EV programs need sensors that respond quickly, survive vibration, and fit prototype, validation, and production-intent hardware. Thermometrics supports battery, power electronics, powertrain, drivetrain, and test-cell work with RTD and thermocouple assemblies built around the measurement point.

Thermal validation on packs, busbars, inverters, and powertrain builds

Low-mass thermocouples and surface RTDs are mounted to battery modules, busbars, inverters, motors, and powertrain test hardware for prototype validation, thermal mapping, abuse testing, and durability work.

Common Applications

  • Powertrain dynos, engine test cells, and exhaust development
  • Battery pack, module, busbar, and thermal runaway test programs
  • E-motor, inverter, gearbox, and coolant loop temperature monitoring
  • Vehicle validation rigs, environmental chambers, and road-load simulation

Sensor Solutions

  • Fast-response thermocouples for exhaust, fluid, and transient thermal events
  • Platinum 100 ohm (Pt100) and platinum 1000 ohm (Pt1000) RTDs for stable measurement in validation and durability studies
  • Surface, immersion, and fitting-mounted sensors for battery and drivetrain hardware
  • Abrasion-resistant lead protection and routing options for dynamic test environments

Quality & Compliance

Programs often need repeatable builds, lot traceability, and calibration or inspection reporting so sensors can move from prototype learning to validation and recurring test use with less variation.

Fast Response

Transient thermal events in battery, drivetrain, and exhaust programs.

Mechanical Fit

Compact probes, surface sensors, and custom routing for tight hardware.

Validation Support

Repeatable builds and calibration support for dyno and qualification work.

Program Considerations

  • Prototype and production-intent hardware often require different mounting strategies and lead routing constraints.
  • Battery and power electronics work usually favors low-mass sensors, surface formats, and clean fixture integration.
  • Durability, vibration resistance, and repeatable replacement geometry matter in recurring validation programs.
