Thimble Ceramic Heater For Oxygen Sensor

Oxygen sensor for automobiles is the major sensor component in electronic fuel injection engine control system, and is the key part to control automobile exhaust emission, reduce automobile pollution to the environment and improve fuel combustion quality of automotive engine.

Thimble Ceramic Heater For Oxygen Sensor

Thimble Type oxgen sensor heaters are available in 1,2,3 or 4 wires depending on the construction project. Due to the environment legislations, newer vehicles only use oxygen sensors with internal heater, commonly found in 4-wire sensors, Thimble type with heater starts to work in approximately 40 seconds after ignition.

FAQ

A thimble ceramic heater is an internal heating component manufactured using the HTCC (High-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) process, designed specifically for automotive oxygen sensors. By heating the zirconium tube to its optimal operating temperature within approximately 40 seconds of ignition, it ensures the sensor functions quickly after a cold start. This fast-heating capability helps reduce cold-start vehicle emissions, improves fuel combustion quality, and assists vehicles in meeting stringent environmental regulations.

This thimble ceramic heater features high compatibility and is designed to fit major mainstream brands, including Bosch, Denso, Delphi, and NTK & NGK. It is available in various physical dimensions and technical configurations to support 1, 2, 3, or 4-wire projects. Key product models feature diameters ranging from 2.5mm to 3.6mm, lengths from 37mm to 57.5mm, operating voltages of 12V or 13V, and resistance levels calibrated from 2.3Ω to 13Ω.
