Review on Pack of 5 K Type Thermocouple Temperature Probes with Mini-Connector, Measure Range -50 to 400 Celsius, Compatible with TM902C/ TES1310 by Dave Brummet

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Disturbing insulation

The fiberglass insulation on it is incredibly annoying and dusty. It was enough to take them out of the packaging without gloves to feel the needles pierce my hands. You can see the glass dust sparkle in the air as it is ejected as the wire bends. Installation unsafe without respiratory protection. It's also a little annoying that they use steel wire instead of copper, which I think makes them more heat resistant, but also doesn't require solder. Irritating fiberglass poses a safety hazard and contaminates my experiments.

Pros
  • Wide application: for general temperature applications, Type-k mini plug responds quickly, suitable for fast air and gas measurement, not suitable for liquid measurement; Allows you to shape and bend your thermocouple so you don't have to worry about the risk of cracking
Cons
  • Not as thick as others
