Components for use in a temperature controlled heatable object are provided in which a temperature sensor is connected to a transmitter such as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. The RFID tag is encased in a protective overmolding and connected to the temperature sensor via a mineral insulated cable. An end cap containing a potting material (such as silicone or ceramic) is placed over the temperature sensor and laser welded to a sheathing of the mineral insulated cable. A potting material for use in a heatable object is also provided comprising a silicone-based material that is modified by adding bauxite to increase thermal conductivity.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is as follows: 1. A component for a heatable object comprising:a temperature sensor having an end cap of a material to increase thermal conductivity;a transmitter associated with said temperature sensor, said transmitter being operable to communicate temperature information obtained by said temperature sensor to a heating device; anda shell at least partially surrounding said transmitter and at least partially surrounding a portion of cabling connecting said temperature sensor to said transmitter when said transmitted is located within a handle or other cavity of the heatable object,wherein,the cabling (i) exits said transmitter in a direction parallel to a bottom surface of the heatable object, (ii) has a portion that runs in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the heatable object, and (iii) has a portion that runs along the bottom surface of the heatable object such that the cabling substantially follows a contour of the heatable object.
