An improved temperature sensor assembly () comprising a temperature sensing probe () having a temperature sensing portion (), a terminal portion (), and an intermediate portion () between the temperature sensing portion and the terminal portion; a mounting element () in sliding engagement along a first axis (x-x) with the intermediate portion of the temperature sensing probe such that the temperature sensing probe is movable linearly relative to the mounting element in an axial direction; the mounting element configured to attach to an open tip thermowell () such that the temperature sensing portion of the probe is exposed to a process environment (); the temperature sensing probe comprising a stop () configured to bear against a seat () in the thermowell; and a spring element () arranged between the stop and the mounting element and configured to bias the stop and the mounting element linearly away from each other in the axial direction.
