THINKING specifically developed a series of accurate temperature sensors for temperature detection of electric vehicle charging inlet. The temperature sensors with metal, plastic and multiple sensor housings are designed to contact with the connectors directly to provide accurate temperature readings to the charging control system of electric vehicle.

Electric vehicle batteries are either charged with AC power fed to an onboard AC-DC charger or with high DC power from DC charging stations for fast charging. During the charge cycle, high current running through the connectors over a long period of time may generate high heat and can be a potential safety hazard to components and users. Therefore, monitoring the temperature of connectors is critical to increase charging safety.

• THINKING temperature sensors for charging inlet provide accurate feedback to the control system, which ensures maximum charge power delivery to the batteries and ensures safety. The temperature sensors are designed to resist moisture and corrosions in case that charging interfaces exposed in highly humid or dusty environment. Key features of the sensors are described as below.
• ● Metal case type: The standard metal sensing top allows flexible installation
• ● Plastic case type: The plastic type is specifically designed for seamless contact between connector and sensor. The sensor touches the connector directly so that the temperature detected is more precise.
• ● Multiple sensor structure: For multiple points temperature detection, there are two multiple sensor structure options available. One is metal sensing tops with high dielectric strength, and the other is with ring terminals for simple and robust screw-on installation.
