Purpose and User
The Cooper Atkins 50014-K is a Type K thermocouple probe designed for surface and air temperature measurement. It suits HVAC technicians, food-safety inspectors and maintenance engineers who need a grounded junction for fast response on metal surfaces.
Upgrade Context
This probe replaces worn or damaged Type K sensors that have drifted out of calibration or suffered cable fatigue. The jump is worth it when an existing probe reads inaccurately near the -40 to 500 degree Fahrenheit limits or when the mini plug no longer seats securely in the meter.
Installation and Pitfalls
Connection is a simple push of the mini plug into any compatible Type K instrument; no tools or wiring are required. The most common issue is forcing the plug in the wrong orientation, which bends the pins and creates an open-circuit reading.

Questions about this item
What cable length does the 50014-K probe have for reaching the measurement point?
The probe includes a 30 in cable that connects the sensing tip to the mini plug, giving enough reach for most surface and air readings without strain.
How do I connect the Type K mini plug so the reading is accurate?
Insert the mini plug fully into a compatible Type K thermocouple input with correct polarity; a loose or reversed connection is the common error that causes offset or open-circuit readings.
When should the probe be replaced if it is used up to 500 °F?
Replace the probe if the grounded junction shows physical damage, cable insulation cracks, or readings drift beyond tolerance after repeated cycling between -40 °F and 500 °F.
