1. A temperature sensor, comprising:
a temperature sensing element transducing a sensed temperature into an electrical output signal and having a plurality of electrically conductive leads;
a mineral insulated cable having a plurality of conductor wires enclosed by a metal outer sheath, the conductor wires are insulated with respect to each other inside the cable and extend beyond the outer sheath at a terminal end of the cable, the electrically conductive leads are connected to the conductor wires extending beyond the outer sheath at a junction region; and
an electrically insulating element insulating the conductor wires extending beyond the outer sheath at least partially with respect to each other and with respect to the outer sheath, the electrically insulating element having a first opening receiving the conductor wires extending beyond the outer sheath and a second opening at least partially receiving the temperature sensing element, the junction region is located within the electrically insulating element and the electrically insulating element has an aperture extending up to the junction region.
