Replaced by the 3108_2 - Immersion Probe K-type Thermocouple
The 3108 - K-Type thermocouple can take continuous temperature readings between -50°C to +800°C with a ±0.75°C accuracy. The 3108 can also take a instant, single temperature reading between -100°C to +900°C.
It is mostly used to take the temperature of liquids and gels.

The Thermocouple comes with a standard miniature male connector that can be removed to uncover the stripped wires when connecting it to one of the following Phidget temperature sensor:
On the 1051, connect the white thermocouple wire to (-) terminal block and the red wire to the + terminal block.
On the 1048, connect the white wire to G and the red wire to an input terminal block (numbered 0 to 3).
You could also connect the 3108 to a Phidget Temperature Sensor using a 3106 – Thermocouple Adapter.
