This is a bare wires bead-probe which can measure air or surface temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost 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 end to keep the fiberglass from fraying. If you're using at \u0026gt;250°C temperatures, simply remove it with a small blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK type thermocouple with glass over-braiding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood up to 500 °C (900 °F)!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor-coded wires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 meter long (a little more than 3 feet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest used with a thermocouple amplifier such as the \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-thermocouple-amplifier-max31855-breakout-board\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMAX31855\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-analog-output-k-type-thermocouple-amplifier-ad8495-breakout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAD8495\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-universal-thermocouple-amplifier-max31856-breakout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMAX31856\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/thermocouple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAdafruit have a handy tutorial which covers thermocouple use including both CircuitPython and Arduino libraries, and example code!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/b\u003e we seem to have gotten a few thermocouples that have the red\u0026amp;yellow wires color-coded wrong.
