Temperature sensor Voltcraft TP-202 Type K thermocouple 0–250°C, 1.00 m cable

Voltcraft TP-202 is a Type K thermocouple temperature sensor designed for general-purpose temperature measurement in the 0–250°C range. The probe connects via a 1.00 m cable to instruments or controllers that accept Type K thermocouple inputs. Its mid-range capacity makes it suitable for HVAC inspections, laboratory procedures, food-processing monitoring and industrial spot checks where reliable, fast temperature readings are required.

Advantages

The TP-202 provides a compact, straightforward thermocouple solution with a wide mid-range measuring capability and a flexible 1.00 m cable for accessible placement. The Type K sensor element ensures stable and repeatable responses across the specified range, while the simple connection makes integration with compatible meters and controllers quick. The sensor’s construction supports routine measurement tasks without complex setup or calibration procedures when used with standard Type K instrumentation.

Suitable for

• HVAC system checks and duct temperature measurements
• Laboratory experiments and general-purpose bench testing
• Food-processing surface and environmental temperature monitoring
• Industrial spot checks and maintenance diagnostics

Key specifications

• Sensor type: Type K thermocouple
• Measuring range: 0–250°C
• Cable length: 1.00 m
• Application class: general-purpose mid-range temperature measurements
• Output: thermoelectric voltage compatible with Type K inputs

How to use

Connect the TP-202 thermocouple to a compatible meter, data logger or controller that accepts Type K inputs, observing correct polarity for the thermocouple leads. Place the sensor tip in contact with the surface or medium to be measured or position it within the measurement environment. Allow sufficient time for the probe to reach thermal equilibrium before recording readings. If required, use the reading device’s cold-junction compensation or ensure the instrument provides it.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, avoid exposing the cable junction to temperatures outside the sensor’s rated range and prevent mechanical strain at connection points. Clean the probe tip before use if measuring food-contact surfaces. Verify the measuring instrument’s input settings for Type K thermocouples and use appropriate cold-junction compensation methods when necessary.
