Definition:
Convert temperature into a measurable electrical signal.

A device that opens and closes a switch in response to changes in the temperature. This device might be a metal contact, or a thermocouple that generates minute electrical current proportional to the difference in heat, or a variable resistor whose value changes in response to changes in temperature. Also called a heat sensor. (chppm-www.apgea.army.mil)
