Waterproof IP67 and IP68 temperature sensor probe overview to aid in the selection of the correct IP rated temperature probe
Monitoring fluid and water is a popular application, and it is important to use a high-quality waterproof at least IP67 rated temperature probe, or the temperature probe will become compromised with water ingress that will provide an incorrect reading.

103AT-11 IP67 Thermistor
The most popular of the IP67 Thermistor ranges is the 103AT-11 due to its cost effective rugged design. The 103AT-11 has a TPE cable coating that also encapsulates the temperature element, so the thermistor is sealed and protected whilst the cable is still flexible.
- IP67
- Cost effective.
- TPE Coating

TT08 Waterproof Stainless steel thermistor
The TPE coating provides the waterproof capability of the cable and is very manoeuvrable making it easy to work with
This waterproof thermistor probe provides added protection with an IP rating of IP68 in addition to its metallic stainless-steel enclosure to protect the thermistor element.
- IP68
- TPE Coated cable
- Stainless Steel probe

PT100 and PT1000 waterproof IP67 Probes
TT4 Waterproof PT100 and PT1000
The TT4 range has PT1000 and PT100 element versions. Both of these RTD temperature probes are IP67 rated ideal for waterproof applications that need a PT RTD element.
In addition to the IP67 like the TT08 they have a stainless-steel casing to protect the RTD element.
The cable is a red silicone that seals the internal wires from any external water ingress.
- IP67
- PT100 and PT1000 options
- Red silicone cable
Digital Waterproof probes
SEN-11050 Waterproof OneWire probe
This temperature probe has a digital temperature sensing element that uses the DS18B20 protected by a an epoxy encapsulation. The temperature sensing element has a thick layer of protection for robust resilience however this leads to a slower response time
