Product Overview
The Thermometrics Water Detection Sensor is designed to detect moisture leakage by monitoring changes in resistance. This sensor plays a critical role in applications where water ingress can lead to hazardous conditions, such as in electric vehicle battery packs. By feeding a signal to the Battery Management System (BMS), it provides timely warnings. Its easy installation and RoHS compliance make it a practical solution for various leak and level detection needs.
