Overview

The GE 1017077 Engine Oil Temperature Sensor is engineered for precision monitoring of oil temperature in 12V systems. With a 52 mm standard diameter and analog output, it integrates seamlessly into dashboards and control panels. This sensor is commonly used in off-road vehicles, generators, marine engines, and industrial machinery, where real-time oil temperature feedback is critical for performance and safety.

Moreover, the sensor features a co-moulded plastic frame and IP66-rated housing, providing resistance to dust, water, and vibration. In addition, its wide resistance range and five-pin Faston connector simplify installation and ensure compatibility with a variety of gauges and control systems. Therefore, it is ideal for harsh environments where durability and accuracy are essential.

For instance, in a diesel generator, the 1017077 sensor enables continuous oil temperature monitoring, preventing overheating and ensuring optimal lubrication.
