Default Shrader Valves

Are the Shrader valves used in the tire pressure sensors the same as a valve used on cars without TSMs?

In other words is the valve in a tire pressure sensor special?

Thanks
Tom

Agreed except that the core cannot be the brass kind...it should be silver colored not brass colored. Dissimilar metals etc.
