Hand Held Thermocouple Probes - Type 5 Thermocouple Probe selection

General Purpose Thermocouple Products - Hand Held Thermocouple Probe Type

Hand Held thermocouple with coiled lead and miniature thermocouple plug
We offer a wide range of hand held thermocouple sensors to suit a variety of applications. Depending on the thermocouple type, these hand held thermocouple sensors can be supplied with a 3, 6, 16 or 32 ft (extended) coiled lead and a miniature flat pin plug which makes them suitable for all connection to a hand held instrument as well as most other brands of readout device. They can also be connected to other instrumentation by using thermocouple extension cable and an appropriate connector.

See detailed information on how a thermocouple works. including ionformation on the seebeck effect and thermocouple generated voltage (emf).

Style Description Tip Image
5AA

General Purpose Thermocouple Probe

Mineral insulated thermocouple with a stainless steel sheath. Insulated hot junction. The tip and sheath may be operated up to 2010ºF and the sheath may be bent. Can be made to any length in a choice of 0.125", 0.188" or 0.250" diameter.
Hand Held General Purpose Thermocouple Probe Tip
5BB

Spring Loaded Surface Probe

This sensor probe has a ribbon style butt welded sensing tip which allows a fast response when placed upon a solid surface.
The tip is rated to 750°F and the handle to 275°F.
Sheath: 0.250" dia x 6.5" long (from handle to tip)

5CC

Heavy Duty Spring Loaded Surface Probe

A robust version of style 5BB with a larger butt welded ribbon junction. Whilst stronger, the response time is slightly slower; however, in most applications it is perfectly acceptable. The tip is rated to 750°F and the handle to 275°F.
Hand Held Heavy Duty Spring Loaded Surface Probe Tip
5DD

Spring Loaded Surface Probe with 90º Bend

As style 5BB, but the sensing tip is positioned at a right angle for difficult to reach applications. The tip is rated to 750°F and the handle to 275°F. Sheath: 0.250" dia x 7.7" long (5.5" to start of bend).

5HH

Heavy Duty Needle Penetration Sensor Probe


All stainless steel construction, this sensor is similar to the standard Needle Penetration Sensor, however due to the 90º cable exit, the sensor can be hammered into hard surfaces such as frozen food. Can be made to any length up to 6" , 0.250" diameter.
