Description
Product Overview
The Standard Motor Temperature Sender (model TS-73T) is a precision‑engineered sensor built for automotive air temperature monitoring. Constructed from high‑grade metal with a machined exterior, the unit measures just 3 x 1.5 x 1.2 inches and weighs only 0.07 pounds, making it lightweight yet robust. Its modern design integrates a handlebar‑mounting bracket, allowing direct installation onto the vehicle’s HVAC handlebar for immediate temperature feedback. The sender operates with a motor‑type lift mechanism, delivering consistent readings across a wide temperature range.
Usage
Designed for both professional mechanics and DIY car owners, this temperature sender fits most standard automotive HVAC systems.
