PT100 Thermocouple K-Type Temperature Probe 0-800°C (0.5 meter)

Overview

The Thermocouple K-Type Temperature Probe (0.5m) is a rugged, high-accuracy temperature sensor designed for demanding industrial, laboratory, and DIY projects. Measuring from 0°C to 800°C, the stainless-steel probe and insulated K-Type pair deliver reliable readings with fast response times. The 0.5 meter lead makes it easy to integrate into compact setups and controller systems.

Key Specifications

• Type: K-Type thermocouple probe
• Temperature range: 0°C to 800°C
• Wire length: 0.5 meter (50 cm)
• Probe material: Stainless steel for corrosion and heat resistance
• Performance: High sensitivity and fast response
• Durability: Heat-resistant insulated wire and robust probe design

Compatibility and Electronics Integration

This K-Type thermocouple probe is compatible with common thermocouple amplifier modules and microcontroller platforms. Typical pairings include:

• MAX6675 and MAX31855 thermocouple-to-digital modules
• Arduino (Uno, Nano, Mega) and shields
• ESP8266 and ESP32-based projects
• Raspberry Pi with SPI or ADC interface modules
• Most digital temperature controllers and data loggers that accept K-Type inputs

Wiring Tips

• Connect the thermocouple wires directly to the thermocouple input pins on the amplifier module; observe polarity (positive/negative leads).
• Avoid splicing with non-thermocouple wire; use proper thermocouple connectors or extension wire when needed.
• Keep the probe lead away from high-current traces to reduce electrical noise.

Applications

• Industrial temperature monitoring in ovens, furnaces, and heaters
• 3D printer hotend and heated bed monitoring
• Laboratory experiments, R&D and test rigs
• Food and beverage processing temperature checks
• HVAC systems, boilers and environmental chambers
• DIY electronics and maker projects using Arduino, ESP and Raspberry Pi

Installation and Best Practices

• Insert the stainless-steel probe into the medium or attach securely where measurement is required; avoid exposing the cable junction to extreme heat.
• For best accuracy, allow the probe to stabilize in the environment before taking readings.
• Use appropriate insulation or strain relief at the probe entry point to extend life span.

Why Choose This K-Type Thermocouple Probe

• Wide measurement range up to 800°C for high-temperature applications
• Compact 0.5 m lead for neat, space-constrained installations
• Stainless-steel construction ensures longevity under repeated heating cycles
• Proven compatibility with popular microcontrollers and thermocouple modules
