RS PRO Type K Rubber Patch Thermocouple 2m Length, 40 x 13 x 5mm Diameter → +150°C

Type K Thermocouples is a device which measures temperatures, it’s made up from two wires which are different materials. When these two wires are joined together, they create an electrical junction. Once the temperature changes at this junction, it creates a voltage which can then be interpreted and read as a temperature. This is commonly known as the “Seebeck Effect”.

• Moulded silicone patch thermocouple, Type K

• Type K Thermocouples: Type K is one of the most common types of thermocouple. They’re popular due to their low cost, the Type K are accurate, provide reliability and have a wide temperature range.

Electrical isolation between foil and lead out wires cannot be relied upon
