Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/感測器 vs 传感器
sensor · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 感器 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 感測器; on the Mainland it is 传感器 - both point at “sensor”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 感測器、傳感器 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
