Temperature Sensor


Temperature Sensor type controls function again like their name implies. The primary function of these devices is to open or close an electrical circuit that may or may not be the primary electrical circuit of the application. This means that these devices may or may not carry the full electrical load of the application. In general, the function of a temperature sensor is to monitor the temperature of one or more components of an application and either provide a signal function to another device in the circuit or control the function of another device in the circuit. This would include applications like turning on a ready light in an application or activating a cooling fan for other electronic components.
