CHARGING INLET WITH THERMAL SENSOR

A charging inlet includes a power terminal, a holder member, and a thermal sensor. The power terminal is configured to releasably engage a mating contact of an external power source. The holder member is proximate to the power terminal, and has an electrically insulative material. The holder member defines at least a portion of a pocket that is fully enclosed. The thermal sensor is disposed within the pocket for monitoring a temperature of the power terminal.
