Abstract
A temperature sensing system to detect a temperature of a surface includes a sensor assembly and first and second lead wires. The sensor assembly includes a probe head and a temperature sensor disposed within the probe head. The first and second lead wires suspend the probe head such that the probe head abuts the surface. The first and second lead wires comprising different materials. The first and second lead wires are configured to provide multiple degrees of freedom of movement to the probe head and temperature measurements.
