Sensor of temperature

Abstract

The invention relates to a motor-vehicle temperature sensor comprising a stop (13) designed to bear against a corresponding bearing surface delimiting a medium, the temperature of which has to be measured, and a means (15) for clamping the stop (13) against the bearing surface. According to the invention the stop (13) has a peripheral thickness (e) equal to or less than 1.2 mm and the clamping means (15) is made of a material having expansion properties common with the material of the bearing surface and is designed to compensate for the differences in expansion between the stop (13) and the bearing surface.
