This screw-in sensor comes as either a Type K/J thermocouple or a PT100 probe for direct temperature measurement. Its M8 threaded body and built-in compression spring keep the tip pressed against the surface. This ensures a good thermal connection for your readings. Features and Benefits
- Thermocouple or PT100 options - Pick a thermocouple for a wide temperature range or a PT100 for more precision.
- Spring-loaded probe tip - It keeps constant contact with the measurement surface, even with machine vibration.
- M8 threaded body - This lets you install it quickly into standard threaded holes on molds, dies, and platens.
- Various cable lengths from 1m to 5m - Choose the length you need to connect the sensor to your controller without extra wiring. Applications
- Measuring die and mold temperatures in plastic injection and extrusion machines.
- Monitoring temperatures on engine blocks, housings, and test fixtures.
- Attaching to heat sinks and platens for thermal management and process control.

Grit / Spec Guide
This K-Type Thermocouple Probe features an M8 mounting thread. Available probe lengths are 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm, providing options for various installation depths. Cable lengths include 1m, 2m, 3m, and 5m, allowing flexibility in sensor placement relative to the display gauge or temperature controller. The probe type is compression spring, ensuring good thermal contact. It is a Type K sensor, but Type J and PT100 options are also available for different temperature ranges and accuracy requirements.
Care & Safety
To maintain the accuracy of your K-Type Thermocouple Probe, ensure the stainless steel probe is kept clean and free from excessive build-up. For general cleaning, a soft cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid bending the probe or the lead sharply, as this can damage the internal wiring. If you need to clean a water heater thermocouple, ensure the power is off and the system is cool before gently wiping the probe. This product does not include a battery. Always ensure proper connection to your display gauge or temperature controller.

Q: What are the available probe and cable lengths for this thermocouple? A: You can customize it to fit your machine. The stainless steel probe comes in 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm lengths, and the cable is available in 1, 2, 3, or 5 meter options.. Q: What does the spring on the probe do? A: The compression spring is there to keep the probe tip pressed firmly against the surface you're measuring. This ensures you get a faster response and a more reliable temperature reading, particularly in machinery with vibration.. Q: Can I order this as a Type K or Type J sensor? A: Absolutely. You can select Type K, Type J, or even PT100 when you order, depending on what your monitoring device requires. The M8 screw thread is a very common size, so it fits a wide range of industrial equipment.. Q: Is there a warranty if the sensor stops working? A: Yes, all our sensors include a 12-month warranty that covers defects in materials or workmanship. If it fails during normal operation within that year, we will send you a replacement.. Q: Is it better to buy the length I need or just extend the cable myself? A: We always suggest ordering the correct length from the start. Splicing thermocouple wire requires special extension wire of the exact same alloy to avoid introducing errors into your temperature readings..
