Temperature probe

A temperature probe comprising a thermistor provided with a heat-sensitive element connected to two electrically-conductive output wires, said temperature probe configured to be immersed into a fluid and measure a temperature thereof, wherein said temperature probe comprises two electrically-conductive metal blades presenting proximal end portions connected by welding to the respective electrically-conductive output wires and supporting said heat-sensitive element at a distance from said proximal end portions, and wherein said temperature probe further comprises a plunger body made of a plastic material overmolded by injection at least around the proximal end portions of the electrically-conductive metal blades, the electrically-conductive output wires and the heat-sensitive element, said plunger body presenting an end portion overmolded directly all around the heat-sensitive element, said heat-sensitive element being wrapped only by said plunger body, said plunger body configured to plunge into the fluid,

• wherein the electrically-conductive metal blades support the electrically-conductive output wires and the heat-sensitive element is carried in a cantilever fashion at a distance from the proximal end portions of the electrically-conductive metal blades, such that the heat-sensitive element is maintained at a distance from the electrically-conductive metal blades and the heat-sensitive element is released from any external element therearound, with the exception of the electrically-conductive output wires which come out of the heat-sensitive element and the plunger body which is overmolded around the heat-sensitive element.
