Does the job expected of a higher temperature sensor.

The TP875 is ideal for evaluating the high temperature heat sources required for surface soldering of lead-free solder. When tested with a standard K-Probe, temperatures below 400 degrees were the same.

Pros
  • K-Type Mini Plug and Banana Adapter
Cons
  • New Competitors Appeared

Good quality but very slow

Probe is good quality and looks pretty solid but it takes about 5 minutes to adjust the temp even a few degrees from actual temp . I would only recommend buying it if you don't need to quickly log the temperature.

Pros
  • K-type temp probe with mini plug and banana adapter
Cons
  • Poor

although a good digital thermometer is likely to have the same response time.

I bought this on a whim to use with a Fluke gauge to measure the outlet water temperature for various timed flushes on my HX espresso maker, where a very fast response time is required. First I was attracted by the overall price and the fact that it came with the adapter needed to connect to my meter. The first few times I used it, the temperature rose much more slowly than I expected - I think the analog meat thermometer is dormant. I kept playing around with this and finally got the answer I…

Pros
  • Compatible with most K-type temperature function multimeters
Cons
  • Not trendy
