VDO Temperature Sender 250°F/120°C Floating Ground - 3/8-18 NPTF

The VDO Temperature Sender 250°F/120°C Floating Ground with 3/8-18 NPTF is a vital component for engine monitoring in marine and powersports applications. It provides reliable coolant temperature feedback, essential for preventing overheating and ensuring optimal engine performance. This sender is particularly useful for fishing boats, ski boats, and pleasure crafts utilizing freshwater or saltwater cooling systems.

Designed for precision, the VDO sender employs resistance-based temperature measurement across a full range of 250°F (120°C). Its floating ground design enhances electrical stability in wet environments, mitigating issues related to corrosion and galvanic interference. The 3/8-18 NPTF threaded connection adheres to marine standards, allowing for straightforward installation into engine block ports or manifolds.

Boaters looking to replace failed senders or upgrade their gauge systems will find this VDO model compatible with various marine engines, although specific compatibility may depend on the engine's make and model. Weighing just 0.2 lbs, this compact sender integrates easily into existing engine harnesses without requiring modifications. Installation is simple and requires only a wrench for a secure fit.
