Packaging protects the sensitive components of a temperature sensor. It can improve mechanical strength, ensure measurement accuracy. A proper packaging isolates environmental influences, making the sensor performance more stable. So packaging has a big impact on the reliability and lifetime of the sensor.
Temperature sensors mainly consist of sensitive elements, connecting leads, supporting structures etc. For instance, thermocouples are made of two dissimilar metal wires twisted together. Thermistors have temperature sensitive materials attached to a resistor. The packaging needs to accommodate all these components properly.
Plastic housings are commonly used for packaging temperature sensors. They are made of plastic materials molded into a case to accommodate the sensor components. Plastic provides electrical insulation and can withstand moderate environments. The low cost makes it feasible for mass production and wider industrial use.
Metal housings use stamped or machined metal enclosures to package the sensor. Metals like aluminum and stainless steel can endure high temperatures and pressures. The metal case also protects against vibration, impact, and moisture. Metal packaged sensors are robust for harsh environments.
Ceramic housings utilize ceramic materials such as alumina or zirconia. The ceramic case gives excellent chemical resistance and electrical insulation. Ceramic packaged sensors can operate under extreme temperatures with high measurement accuracy. They are preferred for precision measurement and calibration.
Technology is evolving to make packages smaller and lighter. Research into new materials is also a priority. This could expand the range of applications for sensors. Future packaging will bring even greater improvements in performance and use. With advances in MEMS technology, sensors and electronic interfaces can be integrated on the same chip to realize ultra-small smart packages. This type of multi-sensor integrated package will significantly reduce the size and weight, while improving reliability. In addition, the use of new advanced materials will also improve the package temperature insulation, waterproof and corrosion resistance.
