Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Including Strain Relief and/or Anti-Vibration Sleeve

A system comprising:

• an engine;
• an exhaust system configured to carry exhaust gases from said engine;
• a temperature sensor system coupled to said exhaust system for detecting a temperature of said exhaust gases, said temperature sensor system comprising:
• a temperature sensor;
• a cable having an end coupled to said temperature sensor;
• a stop flange coupled to said cable;
• and
• an anti-vibration sleeve positioned against said stop flange, said anti-vibration sleeve comprising a body portion defining a through passage and an open side portion, said through passage and open side portion being configured to receive at least a portion of said cable;
• and
• a vehicle control system configured to control at least one operating parameter of said engine in response to an output of said temperature sensor.

A temperature sensor comprising:

• a housing;
• a temperature sensing element disposed in said housing;
• electrical connections extending from said temperature sensing element through said housing;
• and
• a filler material disposed in said housing and at least partially around said temperature sensing element, said filler material providing a thermal pathway between said sensing element and said housing and being flexible to accommodate different rates of thermal expansion between said temperature sensing element and said electrical connections.
