Description

Our new Mini Handheld Thermocouple (MTC) is sure to be a favorite in the kitchen, at the backyard grill, or out in the factory. It's water-resistant, lightweight, and includes a type K thermocouple socket for use with virtually any type K probe. This is a true thermocouple meter for about 1⁄2 the price of any we've seen.

The MTC has a splash rating of IP65 so kitchen or factory use is no problem. With a large digit display you'll be able to read temperatures anywhere in the kitchen. A magnetic back panel attaches to any metal surface for easy mounting.

The ordering table below includes a list of some of our most popular probes. Select from our favorites below, from our other standard K type thermocouples, or from the probes that you are currently using that include a mini connector.

Order one today for only. Add the optional zip wallet to your order for convenient storage of your meter and plug-mount probes.

What is an IP Rating?

An IP rating, also known as "International Protection" or "Ingress Protection" rating, is a value assigned to a product that determines its susceptibility to ingress from solids and liquids. The first numeric digit relates to the level of protection against solid objects, and the second numeric digit indicates the level of protection against liquid ingress. Click for a table of IP Rating values.

IP65 - No ingress of dust (6); Protection from water ingress: Low pressure jets of water (5).
