Surface Mount Foam (SMF) Sensor

Amphenol Advanced Sensors surface mount foam (SMF) sensor is a versatile temperature sensor designed for direct mounting on almost any surface, ensuring precise temperature monitoring. Tailored for applications like battery management and HVAC control, the SMF features a unique design with a low thermal mass sensing element and adhesive-backed compressible foam. This innovative combination delivers quick response times and exceptional temperature accuracy by allowing the sensing element to make direct contact with the surface being measured. The compressible foam on the backside of the sensing element provides consistent pressure while also thermally isolating it from ambient influences, further enhancing measurement accuracy. The SMF is ideal for applications where it can be placed between a flat surface and a backing plate, such as between battery cells and their covers or between a boiler and its insulation.
