Thermocouple with a heater on a substrate

A thermocouple (10) for sensing temperature at a measurement point (40), having a first conductor (20), which has a first end (21) and a first terminal (22), and a second conductor (30), which has a second end (31) and a second terminal (32), wherein the first end (21) of the first conductor (20) and the second end (31) of the second conductor (30) are in electric contact with one another at the measurement point (40), and wherein the first terminal (22) of the first conductor (20) and the second terminal (32) of the second conductor (30) are connected to a terminal line (23, 33), characterized in that the first conductor (20) and the second (30) are applied to a substrate (60) using thick-film technology, wherein the first end (21) of the first conductor (20) and the second end (31) of the second conductor (30) overlap at least in sections at the measurement point (40), wherein the first conductor (20) constitutes a positive contact and is manufactured of an alloy made of 80% to 95% Ni, 3% to 20% Cr, 0% to 1% Fe and 0% to 1% Si, and in that the second conductor (30) constitutes a negative contact and is manufactured of an alloy made of 40% to 58% Cu, 40% to 50% Ni, 1% to 5% Mn and 1% to 50/Fe.
