238-0112 / U5MK1091 Water Temperature Sensor for Caterpillar

Product Description

The 238-0112 / U5MK1091 Water Temperature Sensor is an aftermarket temperature sensor for Caterpillar machinery and engine applications. It helps monitor temperature changes and provides the required temperature signal for the equipment control system.

Caterpillar identifies 238-0112 as a passive low-temperature sensor. Cat low-temperature sensors use thermistors or thermocouples to detect temperature. Passive sensors generate a resistive output without requiring an external regulated power supply.

This temperature sensor uses a 2-pin Ampseal connector, M12 thread, and alloy brass construction. Its overall length is approximately 1.54 inches. These specifications make it suitable for compact installation in different machine systems.

Where Is 238-0112 Used?

The 238-0112 sensor can be used in temperature monitoring applications on Caterpillar machines and engines. Cat lists low-temperature sensors for systems such as cooling, air, fuel, engine oil, and hydraulic systems.

Depending on the equipment configuration, 238-0112 applications include wheel excavators, wheel loaders, motor graders, articulated trucks, compactors, generators, material handlers, and other heavy equipment. Caterpillar’s official parts information lists models such as M320GC, 980XE, 982XE, 140M, 160M, 773, 793F, C4.4, C175 and SR5, among many others. Always verify the part number against the machine model and serial number before ordering.
