Extech TP873-5M Bead Wire Type K Temperature Probe, 5 m Cable

The Extech TP873 Bead Wire Type K Temperature Probe is a reliable and accurate replacement for broken multimeter probes. This temperature probe is compatible with meters that have a polarized Type-K thermocouple port, such as Fluke series 51ii. It features a thermocouple junction in the tip, allowing you to heat as much or as little of the lead wire as needed. However, shortening the thermocouple is not recommended unless you have experience creating the ball junction successfully. In terms of accuracy, the Extech TP873 Bead Wire Type K Temperature Probe performs well. While the exact accuracy may vary depending on the setup, type K thermocouples typically have an accuracy of +/-1C for temperatures under 200C and around +/-4C for temperatures closer to 500C. Users can expect better than +/-10C accuracy with this temperature probe as long as the setup is good. The length of the E11A probe is 39" long, making it suitable for various temperature measurement tasks. However, if you require a longer probe, Extech offers a 5-meter version, the TP873-5M. Overall, the Extech TP873 Bead Wire Type K Temperature Probe is a reliable and accurate tool for temperature measurement. It is compatible with a range of meters, delivers accurate results, and offers a sufficient length for most applications.
