1. A zero-heat-flux temperature probe comprising:

  • a two-sided substrate;

    a heater disposed on the substrate;

    a plurality of sections defined in the substrate, in which each section is joined to at least one adjacent section at a common peripheral location;

    two thermal sensors, each of the two thermal sensors supported on a respective one of two adjacent sections;

    the two adjacent sections folded together at a common peripheral location joining the two sections, wherein the folded two adjacent sections are in a stack configuration;

    a thermal resistor disposed between the two thermal sensors; and

    a lead support tab projecting outwardly of a periphery of one of the plurality of sections andleads on the lead support tab for the heater and the thermal sensors,wherein one of the plurality of sections has a generally round shape with the heater disposed thereon.
