Temperature Probes
TPI has three basic types of temperature probes: penetration/immersion, contact, and air. Each type comes in varied tips (see chart on left) and connector types.
- K-Type Thermocouple with Sub-Mini Connector Probes DescriptionK-Type: Wide temperature range used in many digital thermometers. Identified by a yellow connector.
Sub-Mini Connector: This is an industry standard connectory type allowing TPI probes to be used in any thermocouple thermometer using this type of connector. Sub-mini cnnectors are quick and easy to use, simply push in and out. A wide variety of economical probes are available with sub-mini connectors, enhancing versatility and affordability of the termperature tester. - J-Type Thermocouple with Sub-Mini Connector Probes DescriptionJ-Type: Narrower temperature range than K-Type. Used in analog and digital thermometers. Identified by a black connector.

Identified by a blue connector.
Lumberg Connector: Uses a screw collar to attach to the thermometer. Most secure connection available. Designed for food processing environments - K-Type Thermocouple with Lumberg Connector Probes DescriptionK-Type: Wide temperature range used in many digital thermometers. Identified by a yellow connector.
