A method of manufacturing a temperature sensor unit comprising the steps of: providing the conductors in the sheath such that in a first zone a space is defined between the sheath and the conductors; providing the second insulating material in liquid form in the space; positioning the sensors in the space such that the conductors are provided closer to the centre of the sheath than the sensors; and soldering and/or welding the set of conductors to the set of terminals. A temperature sensor in which sets of conductors and one or more temperature sensors are arranged inside a sheath and with respect to each other such that the conductors are provided closer to the centre of the sheath than the temperature sensors.
