A panel connector for securely connecting an edge connector of a temperature gradient sensing probe having a support shaft to a monitoring circuit is disclosed. The panel connector includes a base having a top side containing a support shaft receiving channel therein. A plurality of resilient electrical contacts formed from a first conductive material and at least one resilient electrical contact formed from a second conductive material, which is dissimilar from the first conductive material, reside on the top side of the base. The connector is provided with a cover for clamping the edge connector and the support shaft of the temperature sensing probe in the connector.
