Mfg Pic Pigtail Part Numbers Mechanical Analog Configuration Notes
GM SU109 C.jpg 5615pt.png
  • Wells SU109 : Standard Motors Products (SMP) TX3
  • Pigtail Pico 5615pt
3/8" NPT threaded brass body and a 2 pin terminal. <link to Race Capture analog channel configuration> Can be used for air inlet temperature for normally aspirated engines
GM SU107 C.jpg 5616pt.png
  • Wells SU107 : Standard Motors Products (SMP) AX1
  • Pigtail Pico 5616pt
3/8" NPT threaded brass body and a 2 pin terminal. <link to Race Capture analog channel configuration> Use for measuring air inlet temperature. Exposed sensing element, necessary for boosted engines where fast response times are necessary. Due to the fragility of the sensing bulb, it is necessary to pot the base of the sensor leads with sensor-safe silicone when used in high vibration environments.
