Product type
A transmission speed sensor is an electronic device used to monitor the rotational speed of the transmission output shaft in vehicles. It typically consists of a magnet and a coil, which generate an electrical signal based on the speed of the rotating shaft. This information is crucial for the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU) to optimize performance, fuel efficiency, and shifting patterns in automatic transmissions.
| Material | Plastic housing with electronic components |
| Operating temperature range | -40°C to 125°C |
| Output signal type | Analog or digital |
| Connector type | Varies by application, typically sealed connectors |
| Typical voltage range | 5V to 12V |
When choosing a transmission speed sensor, consider the specific vehicle make and model to ensure compatibility. It's important to specify the required output signal type, as well as any environmental conditions the sensor must withstand. Buyers should also inquire about the sensor's operating temperature range and connector type to ensure proper installation. Quantities may vary based on repair needs or production requirements.
