XIQI Electric CG-WRNT-03 K-Type Thermocouple Sensor - 5x100mm Stainless Steel Probe, M5/16 Screw, 2m Cable

This sensor is typically supplied with bare wire leads or a standard mini thermocouple connector at the end of its 2-meter cable. You will need to connect it to a matching socket on your temperature controller or data acquisition system that supports Type-K input with internal cold-junction compensation.

Yes, but not directly. The raw millivolt output from a K-type thermocouple requires signal conditioning and cold-junction compensation. You must use a dedicated thermocouple amplifier module (like a MAX6675 or MAX31855 breakout) that interfaces via SPI or I2C to your microcontroller for accurate temperature reading.

The CG-WRNT-03 is rated for continuous operation up to 600°C. The stainless steel sheath provides protection at this range. For short-term exposure, it may tolerate slightly higher temperatures, but prolonged use above 600°C may accelerate oxidation and degrade accuracy.

The M5/16 thread is integrated into the probe base. You can drill a corresponding hole in your equipment wall or plate, insert the probe, and secure it by tightening a nut from the outside. Ensure the sensing junction is positioned in the medium whose temperature you need to measure.
