KUS Marine Coolant Temperature Sensor – Precise Engine Temperature Measurement for Inboard and Outboard Motors

Prevent major engine damage caused by unnoticed overheating! The original KUS coolant temperature sensors continuously measure the thermal load directly within the internal cooling circuit of your boat’s engine. They convert temperature readings into the standardized analog resistance range of 300 to 23 ohms. This makes these sensors the precise, reliable partners for all analog and digital KUS coolant temperature gauges (40–120°C) at your helm.

The extremely wide range includes metric and imperial threads as well as various shaft lengths to ensure a perfect fit in engine blocks from well-known manufacturers (e.g., Volvo Penta, Yanmar, MerCruiser, Yamaha, Mercury). The housings, made of high-purity marine brass, guarantee excellent thermal conductivity for lightning-fast response times in the event of thermal issues.

📐 A direct comparison of the 4 KUS sensor types:

Please measure the thread, the sensor diameter (Ø), and the required shaft length (L1) on your engine block before purchasing:

Type I & Type II (Standard): Classic analog temperature sensors without an additional integrated alarm contact. Type II features an extended housing.
Type III (Combination Sensor with Warning Contact): These models have a 2-pin connector. They provide a continuous clock signal AND, when the threshold temperature is reached (95°C, 98°C, or 107°C, depending on the variant), close an internal switch to activate a separate warning buzzer or alarm LED.
Type IV (Special Dimensions / NPT): Optimized probe lengths with American NPT tapered threads for U.S. engine systems.

Advantages & Technical Highlights at a Glance:

Highest signal precision: Precisely calibrated to the KUS characteristic curve (approx. 300 ohms at 40°C to 23 ohms at 120°C) for an absolutely flicker-free digital or analog display.
Rugged marine brass: Completely corrosion-resistant to hot coolant, antifreeze, engine oils, and salty bilge moisture.
Fully encapsulated, IP67-rated: The connector head is completely dust- and watertight—maximum protection against leakage currents and oxidized contacts.
Universal compatibility: Can be used without restriction in all **12-volt and 24-volt** onboard systems.

🛠️ Accessory tip from Tenten-Boats:

Do you already have the right gauge? Order the visually perfectly matched KUS analog coolant temperature gauge (52 mm) or the modern KUS digital LCD coolant temperature gauge right along with it!
