K-Type Screw-In Thermocouple

Spring-loaded screw-in thermocouple for surface contact

This K-type screw-in thermocouple uses an M6 thread and a spring-loaded tip to maintain consistent contact pressure against a surface or block. The spring compensates for small variations in mounting depth, which helps deliver a stable reading in production equipment.

It is commonly used on heated blocks, moulds, platens, packaging machines and small ovens where a threaded fixing point is available.

Key features

• Element: Type K standard; Type E and Pt100 versions are available.
• Thread: M6.
• Tip: spring-loaded for consistent surface contact.
• Lead length: 0.5–3 m standard; custom lengths on request.
• Termination: bare wire or connector.
• Mounting: direct screw-in installation.

Typical applications

Heated blocks and platens, moulds, packaging and sealing equipment, small ovens, test fixtures and machinery with an M6 mounting point.

Ordering and calibration

Stock configurations ship within 48 hours; custom thread sizes, spring forces and lead lengths can be quoted. Calibration certificates are available on request. Tell us the surface material, expected temperature and available thread depth, and we will recommend the right tip and lead construction.

DHL / FedEx express, 3–6 working days worldwide. Duties and taxes are paid by the receiver unless agreed otherwise.

Included with every unit: 3-point calibration certificate, material traceability sheet and wiring diagram. 2D/3D drawings and 3-A / ATEX documents are available on request.
