Compact Type K Thermocouple With 3 Wire Braided Lead
This durable thermocouple can be used to measure high temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius. Suitable for insertion into materials such as metals. The compact sensing probe makes this a great solution for areas with limited mechanical access.
The sensor wiring is protected by a high quality sheath. The cable cores are terminated to U shaped crimps with around 80mm of cable exposed — ready for connection to temperature controllers, temperature transmitters, or dataloggers. This sensor can also be used with PLCs which have a suitable analogue input.
Suitable for replacement of existing K Type thermocouples, including our own range of PID Temperature Controllers and Electronic Thermostats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is this suitable for oven or kiln use?
A. Yes — with an 800°C rating and a compact 4mm probe, it's well suited to ovens, kilns, and other tight-access high-temperature applications.
Q. Does the shielding reduce electrical noise?
A. Yes — the shielded wire construction reduces electrical interference, useful in environments with SSRs, contactors, or VFDs nearby.
Q. Which controllers is this compatible with?
A. Any device with a Type K thermocouple input — popular pairings include the Novus N1030T-PR PID controller and the Novus N322 J/K/T thermostat, or browse our full PID Temperature Controllers and Electronic Thermostats ranges.
