K Type Thermocouple

This K type thermocouple, a top - notch temperature sensor, is extremely popular among 3D printer users, especially those with Ultimaker and Makerbot models. It's super durable and hard to damage or mishandle. To interpret data from this sensor, you'll just need an extra IC, like an AD595. Specifications: It can measure temperatures from 0 to 800°C with an accuracy of ±2°C. The cable has a color code of Red (+) and Blue (-), and it's 125mm (4.92') long. Made of stainless material, it has dimensions of 3mm X 25mm (0.11x0.98'). Documents available include the Thermocouple Principle Wiki. The shipping list includes one K Type Thermocouple.

Using your K type thermocouple is a breeze. First, connect it to your 3D printer (works great with Ultimaker and Makerbot). Then, attach the additional IC, like an AD595, to start interpreting the temperature data. When handling it, you don't have to be overly careful as it's quite durable. Just avoid bending the cable too harshly. For maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Don't expose it to extremely high humidity or corrosive environments. If you need to understand how it works, check out the Thermocouple Principle Wiki. And that's all you need to know to get the most out of your K type thermocouple!
