Measure -40 to 400°C with this stainless steel K-type thermocouple probe. Since the end of the thermocouple is enclosed, it is ideal for measuring liquids. The thermocouple junction is ungrounded, meaning it is isolated from the outer sheath and more resistant to environmental noise. You can read it using a Phidgets thermocouple interface.
Note: Beyond the 30cm tip, this thermocouple is not waterproof.
If you need to fix it to a panel or mount it inside an enclosure, have a look at the HDW4100 - 1/8" Mounting Nut or the HDW4101 - M12 Mounting Nut.

This K-type thermocouple can be read by connecting it to any of the thermocouple interfaces in the list below.
Note: On the 1051 or TMP1100, connect the black thermocouple wire to the (-) terminal block and the red wire to the (+) terminal block.
On the 1048 or TMP1101, connect the black wire to G and the red wire to input terminal block (numbered 0 to 3).

Thermocouples cannot easily be soldered, since adding an additional metal junction will throw off the readings. The following products will help connect or extend thermocouple wires.

This probe thermocouple can be quickly and easily mounted into the side of a panel or enclosure using a mounting nut. The end is threaded so it can be fastened in place with a nut and washer.
