Help Identifying Temp Sensor

Post by proutyc »

Morning guys.

I'm hoping someone could help with some voltage range for the picture sensor. It came on a oil heat exchanger (I was told off the cosworth indy car engine) but unsure.

Any help would be much appreciated. I'm hoping I don't have to get a heat gun, temp gauge and voltage meter to come up with rights temps.

Thanks
Chris

It could be anything! Even if it looks the same could have different resistances!

For sake of £15 or so, be easier just to buy one with a known scale. Although it would likely be close to a Bosch NTC scale anyway

No part numbers on it ?

For the 30 odd bucks it'll cost I'd buy a Bosch one - cheap in the long run, and likely same thread.
