This is a bare wires stainless-steel tip probe which can measure air or surface temperatures. Most inexpensive thermocouples have a vinyl covering which can melt at around 200°C, this one uses a fiberglass braid so it can be used in high temperature measurements such as heaters and ovens. There's a small piece of heat shrink on the connector ends of the wire to keep the fiberglass from fraying, and a 2 cm long  stainless steel probe on the opposite end.\n K type thermocouple with glass over-braiding Good up to 500°C (900°F)! Color-coded wires 1 meter long (a little more than 3 feet) Best used with a thermocouple amplifier such as the MAX31855, AD8495 or MAX31856  \nWe have a handy tutorial which covers thermocouple use including both CircuitPython & Arduino libraries and example code! Also make sure to check the guide for the thermocouple amplifier you choose.\n\n  ","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":13810,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-3245","price":20.6,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":1,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
