Thermistor connector assembly increases accuracy of measurements
Isolation of the thermistor from spurious heat transfer for accurately measuring ambient air temperatures is accomplished by a mounting consisting of a transparent plastic film bonded to a U-shaped phenolic board with depositions of aluminum on each face and upper edge, and a variable capacitor for fine tuning.
