Connection Type: Miniature Plug
Cable Length: 1 m
Complied Standards: RoHS compliant
Response Time: 0.1 s

Fine wire thermocouples of type K are devices used for temperature measurement, consisting of two wires made from different materials. When these wires are connected, they form an electrical junction. Temperature changes at this junction generate a voltage that can be used to read the temperature. This phenomenon is known as the Seebeck effect. The type K thermocouple probe is a simple PTFE thermocouple cable with an injection-molded connector. The sensors consist of a 1 or 3 m long class 1 thermocouple wire with an integrated thermocouple mini plug.

Features and Benefits:

• Exposed thermocouple junction at one end
• With injection-molded thermocouple connector
• Complete encapsulation for maximum strength and durability
• Continuously high-precision thermocouple material
• Class 1 wire alloys, type K (NiCr/NiAl)
• Three-year warranty
• Including flame sensors in safety devices for gas-fired equipment

The thermocouple fiber optic cable of this temperature sensor is 1 m long and has a response time of 0.1 seconds. It offers a wide operating temperature range from -100 °C to 250 °C.

Typical Applications:
This probe is used in various applications and is often employed as an embedded sensor in construction, paper electronics, and packaging industries. Type K thermocouples are ideal for most general applications due to their ability to operate over a wide temperature range. They can be used in rotary kilns, gas turbine exhausts, diesel engines, or other industrial processes.
