Thermocouple Probes with Armored Cable for Air
An armored stainless steel cable protects wiring from corrosion and damage in humid conditions and harsh environments. The bayonet mounting connection securely holds the probe in place in high-vibration environments, and the included mounting adapter converts the bayonet connection to a threaded connection.
Note: When installing probes with wire leads, the red wire is negative.

Clip-On Thermocouple Probes for Air
With a clip on the end, these probes are quick to install and easy to remove. They're often used on vents, circuit boards, and other irregular surfaces. Their tip is exposed, so they respond to rapid changes in air temperature but can’t be used in liquids. The coiled cable stretches when you need extra reach.
Pick the thermocouple type that best covers the temperature range you expect your environment to be. You should also make sure the thermocouple type you choose is compatible with the device you plan to connect it to. These probes are often used with temperature controllers, thermometers, and other temperature-reading devices.
These thermocouples are manufactured to conform to ASTM E230 for accuracy. Accuracy is how far off the reported value is from the actual temperature.
