Please refer to this thread.

Karen,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Can you please clarify? I don't see how the thread you referred me to is relevant. My question does not pertain to mounting considerations; instead, I'm wondering how to deal with wires which are connected to the component leads yet are located in an environment which is held at a different temperature from the environment which the component is exposed to.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I thought the thread I referred addressing the question on whether the epoxy you mentioned will get the job done. In the case of where the leads and the wires are held at different temperatures, it might affect your measurements, yes. In this case it may be good to use ones that have poor thermal conductivity to avoid errors. The TMP35 has sections on using the part in remote sensing and driving long cables which might be of help. We also have an application note which discusses layout recommendations for ambient temperature measurement.
