Abstract
A sensor assembly comprising a sensing element with at least one electrical lead extending therefrom. A tube encloses the sensing element and material surrounds the at least one electrical lead and defines a space around the at least one electrical lead so that when temperature gradients create push and pull, the at least one electrical lead moves within the space. The sensor assembly may further comprise a sleeve connected to the tube and surrounding the material. The sleeve may have an intermediate bent portion that the at least one electrical lead passes through, with a braided supply line connected to the leads, the braided supply line being arranged and configured within the bent portion to absorb movement of the two leads from temperature gradients. The lead can also extend through the sleeve forming a sinusoidal shape within the sleeve for absorbing movement resulting from temperature gradients.
