How to Select Drawings, Probes, Wires & Packaging for Trouble-Free Projects
R&D engineers and procurement specialists know well:
90% of customisation errors stem from incomplete parameter communication.Many buyers only provide drawings with basic length dimensions but ignore critical electrical parameters. The samples may look identical but fail to function properly after installation.
90% of customisation errors stem from incomplete parameter communication.
Many buyers only provide drawings with basic length dimensions but ignore critical electrical parameters. The samples may look identical but fail to function properly after installation.
Mandatory parameters for non-standard customisation (all required):
Resistance at 25°C: 10K, 50K, 100K. Never confirm verbally.
B-value constant: 3950, 3435, 3977. Wrong selection leads to severe temperature measurement deviation.
Tolerance: ±1% / ±2% / ±3% / ±5%. High precision is mandatory for medical and new energy applications.
Operating temperature range: Determines temperature resistance of wires and packaging.
Requirements for resistance tolerance and batch consistency for mass production.
Typical Issues
Specifying 10K resistance without confirming B-value causes inaccurate temperature detection.
Samples with ±1% tolerance, while mass goods mixed with ±3% parts result in unstable temperature control.
Unspecified temperature range causes wire melting under high-temperature working conditions.
✅ Jiepute Custom Standard
Our engineers confirm all parameters item by item with written records and pre-production verification. We eliminate errors caused by verbal communication and guarantee consistent performance for samples, small batches and mass orders.
2. Avoid Pitfalls in Probe Selection: Probes Cannot Be Interchanged for Different Scenarios
A common misunderstanding: smaller probes are always better, and metal probes are superior to all alternatives.
Probe structure directly determines response speed, waterproof capability, temperature resistance, fitting performance and service life.
Temperature measurement inside compact modules, circuit boards
❌ Avoid large metal probes
✅ Recommended: Epoxy miniature bead probes
Features: Compact size, fast response. Ideal for smart home appliances, small home appliances and PCB temperature monitoring.
Water tanks, pipelines and long-term humid environments
❌ Avoid ordinary epoxy probes (prone to water penetration and resistance drift)
✅ Recommended: Fully sealed waterproof probes
Features: Double-layer potting sealing, moisture & water resistance. Stable performance without leakage or drift under continuous immersion.
High-temperature chambers, ovens and heating cabins
❌ Avoid ordinary epoxy probes (crack and age under high temperature)
✅ Recommended: Stainless steel metal probes
Features: Fast thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance and anti-ageing performance for long-term high-temperature operation.
Pipelines, fluid systems requiring fixed installation
❌ Avoid plain probes without fixing structure (risk of falling off and signal drift under vibration)
✅ Recommended: Probes with threads, flanges or fixing shoulders
Features: Firm installation, vibration resistance and stable temperature measurement for industrial equipment.
Temperature monitoring for batteries and energy storage cells
❌ Avoid bulky probes with poor contact
✅ Recommended: Ultra-thin patch & flat fitted probes
Features: Large contact area, minimal temperature lag and timely overheating warning.
3. Avoid Pitfalls in Cable Selection: Improper Wires Lead to Mass Wire Breakage & Ageing
Cables are frequently overlooked yet create the highest failure risk in custom projects.
Wires with identical appearance differ greatly in temperature resistance, oil resistance, anti-ageing and waterproof performance based on materials.
PVC Wire
Temperature range: -20℃ ~ 80℃
Application: Normal-temperature household appliances and indoor equipment
❌ Not suitable for high-temperature equipment, outdoor facilities and oily environments
PTFE (Teflon) Wire
Temperature range: -60℃ ~ 200℃
Advantages: High temperature resistance, oil & corrosion resistance, long service life
Application: Industrial equipment, high-temperature home appliances, new energy equipment and export products
Silicone Wire
Features: High flexibility, resistant to repeated bending, cold and heat resistant
Application: Moving mechanical structures requiring flexible installation
Common Mass Production Failures
PVC cables deployed on high-temperature equipment → melting, peeling and short circuit in bulk
Non-PTFE wires used outdoors → cracking and ageing within months
Rigid wires applied to moving structures → widespread wire breakage
✅ Jiepute Principle
Cable selection strictly follows actual working conditions instead of prioritizing low costs.
5. Final Major Risk: Qualified Samples but Unqualified Mass Production
Many procurement teams encounter this costly problem: well-performing samples, yet mass shipments suffer inconsistent precision and simplified craftsmanship.
Root causes:
Hand-made precise samples vs poorly processed mass goods in small workshops
Mixed raw material batches without screening for resistance and B-value
Lack of ageing testing and full inspection procedures
✅ Jiepute Mass Production Assurance
Identical raw materials for samples and bulk orders
Precise sorting of resistance and B-value for every batch
AOI visual inspection, ageing test and insulation test before delivery
Full traceability and stable large-volume delivery capacity
Summary Checklist for Customisation
Confirm all parameters in writing instead of verbal agreements
Select probes according to working conditions; avoid universal misuse
Match cables to operating temperature and environment; do not simply chase low prices
Choose sealed packaging for high humidity & high-temperature scenarios to eliminate cavities
Cooperate with professional manufacturers maintaining consistent craftsmanship for samples and mass production
