Solutions
Tailored thermal protection
TMC Sensortechnik GmbH not only offers some of the world’s most innovative thermal protection products. TMC also delivers comprehensive solutions. Challenge us! We develop tailor-made solutions for your specific thermal protection: from the first design sketch, through 3D modeling that integrates seamlessly into your own 3D models, all the way to global permits. Everything from a single source – backed by many years of expertise.
Best Practices
Our thermal solutions are tailored, smart, and resource-efficient.
Saving on assembly costs
How can the high assembly costs in electric engine manufacturing be drastically reduced? Our answer: “Click & Play”! With the use of our TMC MR 2nd generation and the automated assembly it enables, costs have been reduced by €0.5 million per year.
Reliable thermal protection for EV charging systems
How can power plugs of the charging infrastructure for electric cars be protected against overheating?
Our answer: the TMC N series, which makes the Juice Booster a reliable companion for e-mobility. Now also with Pt and PTC technology!
The following product video from Juice Technology illustrates the benefits: youtube.com/watch?v=U6XTdj0BSpg
The world’s smallest bimetal switch
As small as possible and yet robust: our developers met this requirement for the new bimetal switch with a pressure-resistant, high-performance miniature switch.
Including its innovative insulation cap, this switch is currently the world’s smallest pressure-resistant bimetal switch available.
- High pressure resistance thanks to inner steel housing
- 3.5 kV dielectric strength of the insulation
- 100% consistent geometry
- No sharp edges
- 100% EU supply chain
Always in the perfect position
How can a Pt1000 sensor, designed for installation in different stator cast parts, always remain in the ideal position? Our answer: the “PI-Sensor”. The Pt1000 is encapsulated in a highly conductive plastic sleeve and, with the support of a spring, is reliably kept in the ideal position against the cast part.
The world’s flattest bimetal switch
Especially in small electric engines with concentrated windings, every tenth of a millimeter counts. Our F-Switch, the flattest bimetal switch in the world, fits between all modern winding teeth.
Applications
Our solutions and products safeguard a vast variety of applications across industries worldwide. Whenever thermal safety is critical, thermal protection is essential. You will find TMC temperature sensors and bimetal switches in the following fields:
- Drive and control systems
- Heating and air conditioning
- Pumps
- Medical technology
- Laser applications
- E-mobility

- … and many more!
„Click & Play“
In cooperation with our sister company BGF Enztech GmbH, we create cost-efficient, tailor-made “Click & Play” solutions for you:
- Wire-free: Molded lead frame for reliable power supply, signal transmission and contacting
- Safe: Innovative insulation displacement connections, Press-Fit technology and more
- Flexible: All circuit options available in a single component (parallel or series, star or delta)
- Tailor-made: All sensor types (PTC, Pt1000/Pt100, NTC) and bimetal switches can be integrated flexibly and positioned variably – with just one “Click”.
- Savings: Substantial reductions in product costs, assembly costs and quality costs – often exceeding €3.00 per motor in assembly costs alone.
- Cost-efficient for volumes of 10,000 motors per year and above
SAVINGS EXAMPLE WITH “CLICK & PLAY”
- Production volume: 100,000 motors per year
- Assembly time before: 210 seconds per motor
- Assembly time after: 88 seconds per motor – assembly time reduced by 58%
- At an hourly rate of 98 EUR/hour: savings of more than 330k EUR per year, i.e. over 3.00 EUR per motor
“Click & Play” systems can be configured with:
- PTC
- Pt1000/Pt100
- NTC
- Bimetal switches
