Tempco
Tempco TCS00015 Type J Thermocouple Probe 18 in
Type J thermocouple probe with grounded junction and ½ in MNPT fitting for HVAC, oven and food-service use up to 1,400 °F
- ColorTransparent
- Type J thermocouple covers 32 to 1,400 °F for wide-range temperature monitoring
- Grounded junction delivers fast response in ovens, ducts and food-processing equipment
- 18 in probe length reaches deep into processes while 0.84 in diameter fits 1/2 in MNPT ports
- Terminal block simplifies secure wiring in HVAC, pharmaceutical and packaging installations
- Heavy-duty construction withstands harsh industrial environments up to 760 °C
Application Range
This Tempco thermocouple probe is built for industrial temperature sensing in appliances, ductwork, food and beverage processing, HVAC systems, ovens, packaging lines, and pharmaceutical equipment. The Type J grounded junction delivers a fast response for process control in these environments.
Suitability
It suits engineers and technicians who need a 1/2 in MNPT process connection with an integral terminal block for direct wiring. Buyers requiring a longer insertion length, a different thermocouple type, or a flexible cable assembly should consider other models.
Temperature Limits
The probe operates continuously from 32 to 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 760 degrees Celsius), which defines the processes it can monitor. Verify that your application stays within this range before installation.

Questions about this item
What does the 32 to 1,400 °F range mean when the probe is installed in an oven?
The probe will reliably report temperatures from 32 °F up to 1,400 °F (0 °C to 760 °C) while inserted in the oven, covering typical baking, curing and heat-treat cycles.
How does the Type J grounded junction affect the signal sent to my controller?
A grounded Type J junction gives a fast response and a direct millivolt signal referenced to the sheath, so the controller must accept a grounded thermocouple input to avoid ground-loop errors.
Will the 1/2 in MNPT fitting and 0.84 in diameter probe thread into my existing duct port?
The probe has a 1/2 in MNPT process thread and a 0.84 in diameter sheath that is 18 in long, so it fits any port tapped for 1/2 in NPT with enough insertion depth for the 18 in length.
