Hitachi 4257129 is the brass coolant temperature sender with a single screw terminal. It is used on Hitachi excavators. This aftermarket version has the same mounting and electrical connector as the original, so it plugs in and bolts on where the old one came off.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Applications & use cases
Gauge reads cold or wrong
If the temperature gauge stays low or jumps while the engine is warm, the sender is the usual cause. Check the wire and terminal first.
Overheat warning with a cool engine
A failed sender can trigger a false high temperature warning. Swapping the sender confirms it.
Fitting tips
Fit with the engine cold and the coolant drained below the sender, use thread sealant on the taper thread and top up the coolant afterwards.
