Ambient Air Temp Sensor

The Dakota Digital Ambient Air Temp Sensor (SEN-15-1) is a precision-engineered environmental monitoring component designed for high-accuracy temperature measurement across extreme operating ranges. This brass-construction sensor delivers reliable ambient air temperature readings from -40°F to +250°F, making it suitable for both standard automotive applications and specialized equipment installations where thermal monitoring is critical to system performance and diagnostics.

The sensor features a robust brass sensing element rated for the full -40 to +250 degree temperature spectrum, with pre-installed wiring harness for straightforward integration into existing gauge and monitoring systems. The compact form factor—measuring 3.75 x 1.5 x 5.85 inches and weighing just 0.22 lbs—permits installation in confined engine bay spaces without compromising accessibility or serviceability. Dakota Digital's engineering focuses on signal accuracy and consistency across temperature extremes, critical for engine management feedback loops, climate control systems, and aftermarket gauge clusters where temperature compensation directly impacts readout fidelity.

This sensor serves operators and technicians building custom instrumentation packages, upgrading legacy thermal monitoring systems, or deploying temperature-dependent diagnostics in vehicles and equipment operating under demanding thermal conditions. The -40°F floor supports cold-weather field operations and high-altitude environments, while the 250°F ceiling accommodates elevated underhood temperatures and specialized thermal testing scenarios. Replacement or upgrade applications benefit from the sensor's plug-in compatibility with standard Dakota Digital gauge platforms and third-party engine management systems accepting 0–5V analog input signals.
