Abstract
A device which comprises a sensor and/or actuator and a connector for electrically and mechanically coupling the sensor and/or actuator. The connector comprises an individual electrical conductor having a core made from a first material and having a jacket made from a second material. The first material can have a lower thermal conductivity than the second material.
Claims15
A device comprising:
- a sensor;
- and
- a connector for electrically and mechanically coupling the sensor to an electronic system, the connector including at least one individual electrical conductor having a core made of a first material and a jacket made of a second material, the first and second materials being selected based at least in part on reducing propagation of heat in the sensor and the connector, and a ratio of a radius of the core to a thickness of the jacket being one of greater than and equal to about 10:1, the first material having a lower thermal conductivity than the second material.
