This K type temperature sensor probe measures a wide range of temperatures. It gives accurate readings from 0°C to 400°C. The probe has an M6 screw thread for simple mounting. You can get it with a 1, 2, or 3-meter cable. Features and Benefits
- Measures 0-400°C - This lets you check temperatures from low-heat uses to high-heat needs like ovens. It goes beyond what most NTC or digital sensors can do.
- Stainless Steel M6 Probe - The stainless steel sensor resists rust. It screws right into a threaded hole. This makes sure it touches the surface well for correct temperature checks.
- Waterproof Probe Tip - The sealed sensor tip is waterproof. You can safely measure liquid temperatures or use it in wet places without breaking it.
- Insulated Cable Choices - Pick a 1M, 2M, or 3M cable. This gives you the right length for your setup. It works for small projects or big machines with controllers far away. Applications
- PID Controllers - This is a good temperature sensor for PID controller systems. It helps control temperatures in 3D printer hotends, small kilns, and custom reflow ovens.
- DIY Electronics - Use it as an Arduino temperature sensor with the right amplifier board. This is for projects that need to watch heat, like a BBQ smoker or engine exhaust.
- Industrial and HVAC - It's a solid choice for checking temperatures on machines, pipes, and heating parts. This helps make sure equipment runs right and safely.
What It Is
This K Type Industrial Probe is a screw thermocouple designed for temperature control applications. It functions as a thermocouple temperature sensor, providing accurate readings within a 0-400°C range. The probe connects to a temperature controller or display gauge via its lead, which is available in 1m, 2m, or 3m lengths. Its M6 screw thread allows for secure installation into various industrial setups. No battery is required for its operation.
Key Uses & Applications
This K Type industrial probe is suitable for various temperature monitoring tasks. It can be integrated into systems requiring precise temperature control, particularly where a robust screw-in sensor is beneficial. Common applications include industrial ovens, kilns, and other heating processes that operate within the 0-400°C range. The M6 screw thread ensures a secure fit for reliable temperature sensing in demanding environments.
How to Choose
When selecting a screw thermocouple, consider the required cable length, choosing from 1m, 2m, or 3m options. The M6 screw thread is a fixed specification for this particular industrial probe, ensuring compatibility with appropriate mounting points. Verify that the temperature range of 0-400°C suits your application. Ensure that your existing temperature controller or display gauge is compatible with a K Type thermocouple.
Grit / Spec Guide
This K Type industrial probe features an M6 screw thread for secure installation. It offers a temperature range of 0-400°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. The cable length can be specified as 1m, 2m, or 3m to accommodate different setup requirements. As a thermocouple temperature sensor, it provides precise readings to a compatible temperature controller. It is important to ensure the M6 thread size is appropriate for the intended mounting.
Care & Safety
To maintain the performance of your screw thermocouple, regularly inspect the lead and the probe for any damage. While this product is not a water heater thermocouple, general advice for such devices includes carefully cleaning the probe with a soft cloth to remove any residue, ensuring no liquids enter the connector. If replacing a thermocouple, such as on a gas fireplace, always ensure the power and gas supply are off. This K Type industrial probe does not require a battery.

Q: What's the temperature range this probe can handle, and what's the screw size? A: This sensor is designed to measure temperatures from 0 up to 400 degrees Celsius. The probe uses a standard M6 screw thread for mounting.. Q: What is the probe made from and what are the cable length options? A: The probe tip is made of stainless steel, which helps with heat transfer and resists corrosion. You can order it with a 1-meter, 2-meter, or 3-meter cable to match your equipment's needs.. Q: Will this work with my existing temperature controller? It needs a K-type thermocouple. A: Yes, it should be compatible. This is a standard K-type thermocouple that ends in a two-fork terminal, so it connects to most controllers that accept that input.. Q: What happens if the sensor doesn't work when I get it? A: We cover all our sensors for 12 months against any manufacturing defects. If you run into any issues or it's not working correctly out of the box, just get in touch with us and we'll help you sort it out.. Q: I need to monitor the temperature of a 3D printer hotend. Is this suitable? A: This is a common use for this probe, as long as your hotend operates below 400°C. The M6 screw-in design provides a secure connection to the heater block, which helps get a stable and accurate temperature reading..
