Wacker Neuson 5100005738 Temperature Sensor

The Wacker Neuson 5100005738 is a genuine OEM Temperature Sensor designed for the DPU80, DPU90, and DPU110 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement, this sensor is sourced from Wacker Neuson and built to the same specification as the original part installed at the factory. Fitment covers an extensive range of DPU models including standard, reversible, and US-market variants across the Lec, Lekc, and Lem engine configurations. Verify your model number against the compatibility list to confirm the part is the correct sensor for your machine.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Sensor Accuracy — Calibrated to the correct temperature threshold and output signal range required by DPU-series engine management systems, ensuring readings are consistent with original equipment performance.
• Drop-In Connector Match — Engineered to plug directly into the existing wiring harness on compatible DPU models with no adapters or wiring modifications needed.
• Broad DPU Series Coverage — Fits DPU80, DPU90, and DPU110 models in standard and reversible configurations, including Lec, Lekc, and Lem engine variants across both standard and US-market machines.
• Protects Against Engine Overheating — A functioning temperature sensor enables the machine's protection system to respond correctly to thermal events, helping prevent engine damage during sustained compaction work.

A temperature sensor monitors engine coolant or oil temperature and sends a continuous signal to the machine's control system. On DPU-series reversible plate compactors, this data is used to trigger overtemperature protection — shutting the engine down or alerting the operator before heat damage can occur. When the sensor fails or drifts out of calibration, the machine may shut down unexpectedly under normal operating conditions, or worse, fail to shut down when it should, leaving the engine exposed to heat-related damage. Replacing a faulty sensor with a genuine OEM part restores accurate thermal monitoring and keeps the machine's protection systems functioning as intended.
