Quick-Connect Thermocouple Probes for Surfaces
The probe tips come attached to mounting connections for fast installation.
Note: When installing probes with wire leads, the red wire is negative.
Hose-clamp and hook-and-loop probes fit around pipes, tubes, and cylindrical containers.
Clip probes attach to vents, oven racks, circuit boards, and other irregular surfaces.

Thermocouple Probes with Armored Cable for Solids
To monitor the internal temperature of soft solids in humid conditions and harsh environments, these thermocouple probes have an armored stainless steel cable that protects wiring from corrosion and damage.
Pointed-tip probes pierce dense solids more easily than round-tip probes.
Needle-tip probes minimize puncture damage when inserted into sensitive materials and small objects.
