Engine Management Innovative designs include a unique
patented composite sensor for coolant
temperature gauges. It combines the
characteristics of both Negative
Temperature Coefficient (NTC) and
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC)
thermistors to provide users with their
own custom designed resistance versus
temperature curve.
We offer one of the most
comprehensive ranges of products in
the world today, including high
temperature thermistors, gauge drivers
and lead frame technology. We are a
one stop supplier and provide our
customers with total capability. With
manufacturing facilities in North
America, Europe and Asia we are well
placed to provide global and regional
solutions.
In this industry, the importance of
engine management, safety, fuel
economy and control of exhaust
emissions is growing rapidly. As
a result, there is an increasing
use of electronic systems which
depend on sensors to help
monitor, measure and control the
performance of vehicles.
Thermometrics is a world class solver
of customers problems in temperature
measurement and surge protection,
working with major automotive
manufacturers on all continents. Our
thermistors are widely used in
automobiles and can be found in
engine management, information
display, circuit protection, climate
control, environmental protection and
safety systems.
Automotive Expertise
Innovative
Thermometrics has pioneered lead
frame technology used by major
temperature probe suppliers in the USA
and is set to revolutionize production
lines around the rest of the world. The
probe terminal and thermistor lead
wire are constructed of a single piece of
metal, reducing the number of intercon-
nections and ensuring a more reliable
device. The design allows for the entire
production process to be fully
automated providing for a more
consistent product at competitive prices.

6 Simplicity at
its best
For the protection of exchanges,
manufacturers want a device that is
compact and easy to assemble.
Working closely with our customers,
we have designed a unique surface
mount PTC device, type YSM. This
patented design incorporates a
unique surface mount lead frame
construction to provide the
performance of a wired device. The
result is a simple to assemble, cost-
saving and space-saving device that
meets our customers needs.
against high voltages, short circuits and
other hazards. In office equipment
thermistors are used to control critical
process temperature.
With deregulation and new markets
emerging around the world,
Thermometrics is producing sensors
suitable for the global market and has
established manufacturing facilities to
meet local content requirements. To
satisfy these rapidly changing demands,
the company is investing heavily in R &
D to develop new products that will
reach and exceed the requirements of
our customers today and tomorrow.
Thermometrics sensors are used
to control and protect vital
telecom equipment and other
office machines. These include
telephone exchanges, telephone
ancillary equipment, computers,
fax machines, photocopiers,
battery packs, switching power
supplies, printers and pagers.
Using high performance ceramics and
the latest technology, Thermometrics
provides solutions that offer long-term
reliability. In telephone exchanges

precision
counts
Thermometrics has developed
remarkably small, high performance
sensors. Applications include the
thermodilution catheter fitted with a
biomedical thermistor for the
measurement of blood temperature.
A recent new development is a sensor
for portable blood analyzers that
accurately measures blood
temperature providing immediate
results right at the patients bedside.
Other innovative work carried out
includes small precision sensors for
cancer research. Thermistors are being
used to measure the temperature of
cells. By monitoring this precisely,
doctors can use heat to destroy
diseased cells in tumors.
Our facility in Edison, New Jersey is a
center of excellence. Here, state of the
art thermistors are developed, tested
and screened to ensure they meet the
ever challenging demands of the
medical market.
Thermometrics is the world
leader in thermistor temperature
sensors for medical applications.
Our NTC thermistors are
renowned for their accuracy,
reliability and small size.
These products are used extensively
for heart catheters, esophageal
stethoscopes, fever thermometers, skin
sensors, blood analyzers, incubators,
respiration monitors, hypodermic
needle sensors and many other
applications.
Thermometrics offers customers more
than just sensors. Our success results
from our expertise in solving
customers temperature related
problems.
Precision in the Medical Field
9 Electronic circuitry and sensitive
system components in heating,
ventilation and air conditioning
applications need thermistor
protection and control. The
sensors are used extensively
in process control energy
management, HVAC-systems,
power supplies, transformers,
motor soft start and general time
delay units.
Efficient Heating & Ventilation
Easy to use
Thermometrics has designed a
thermistor that represents a significant
advance in the accurate measuring

10 Reliable
The measuring and control of
temperatures in refrigeration
equipment until recently has been
unreliable because of moisture
ingress, causing components to fail.
Thermometrics refrigeration probes
are specially designed to be resistant
to moisture ingress. Highly accurate
and reliable, these can now
increasingly be found in domestic and
commercial refrigerators.
Around the Home
Todays consumers expect their every
day appliances to be very reliable
and efficient. Electronic sensors offer
improved accuracy over electro-
mechanical solutions and
