The Phidgets K-Type Thermocouple Extension Wire is designed to extend the reach of K-type thermocouples, providing flexibility in temperature sensing applications. This wire can be customized to the desired length, ensuring adaptability to various setups. It is essential to connect the red wire to the negative and the yellow wire to the positive thermocouple wire to ensure accurate temperature readings. The use of a K-type thermocouple connector is recommended to prevent interference from ordinary terminal blocks or solder, which can alter the thermocouple voltage by changing the junction.
