Datcon Temperature Sender — 02017-00
The Datcon 02017-00 is a single-station, low-range temperature sender calibrated for compatible Datcon temperature gauges. It threads into a standard 1/8"-27 NPTF port and uses a common-ground electrical configuration with a 10-32 stud terminal. The sender is matched to Datcon's DAL sender curve and operates across a 100–240°F temperature range.
Specifications
- Part Number: 02017-00
- Sender Type: Temperature sender — single station, low range
- Temperature Range: 100–240°F
- Thread: 1/8"-27 NPTF
- Ground: Common
- Electrical Terminal: 10-32 stud
- Datcon Sender Match: DAL
Compatible Applications
- Datcon temperature gauges calibrated for the DAL sender curve
- Coolant and water temperature monitoring at the engine block or thermostat housing
- Oil temperature monitoring where gauge and installation are designed for this sender curve
- Single-station helm or instrument panel setups
- Any application with a 1/8"-27 NPTF sender port and a Datcon 100–240°F gauge
Fitment Confirmation — Verify Before Ordering
- Gauge brand: Datcon
- Gauge temperature scale: 100–240°F
- Datcon sender match code: DAL
- Port thread: 1/8"-27 NPTF
- Station configuration: Single station
- Wiring: Common ground
- Terminal: 10-32 stud
Important: Thread size alone does not confirm compatibility. The Datcon 02022-00 also uses a 1/8"-27 NPTF thread but is a different high-range sender calibrated for 100–280°F / 140–320°F gauges. Verify your gauge's sender match code before ordering.
When to Replace This Sender
- Temperature readings are consistently inaccurate or pegged at a fixed value
- Gauge readings are intermittent or erratic with no wiring fault found
- Terminal is corroded, damaged, or not making a reliable connection
- Sender body or threads are damaged or weeping
- Testing confirms the gauge and wiring are functional but sender response is incorrect
Installation Notes
- Confirm port is 1/8"-27 NPTF before threading sender in
- Apply a thin, even coat of high-temperature thread sealant to the threads only — keep sealant away from the sender tip
- Avoid over-tightening; hand-tight plus 1–2 turns is typical for NPTF fittings
- Because this is a common-ground sender, ensure the sender body has a reliable ground path through the block or mounting surface
- Excessive thread sealant covering the body can interfere with the ground circuit
- Connect the lead wire securely to the 10-32 stud terminal
- Verify gauge reads correctly through the full warm-up cycle after installation
Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: This sender is the right choice when you're replacing a failed temperature sender on a Datcon gauge system and your gauge label or documentation confirms DAL sender match with a 100–240°F scale. It's a straightforward drop-in provided the port and gauge specs align.
Common Issue: The most frequent mis-order on Datcon senders is selecting by thread size rather than sender curve. Both 02017-00 and 02022-00 share the same 1/8"-27 NPTF thread, but they are calibrated for different gauge ranges. Using the wrong sender will cause the gauge to read inaccurately across the entire range — not just at temperature extremes. Always confirm the DAL sender match code on your gauge before ordering. If your gauge documentation is missing, contact us with the gauge model number and we can verify compatibility.
