M6 K Type Threaded Thermocouple Temperature Sensor Probe

Category: Brand:

Core Value

In precision industrial heating—such as hot runner systems, nozzle band heaters, and aluminum heating platens—loose or improperly seated sensors cause thermal lag and erratic PID controller feedback. The M6 K Type Threaded Thermocouple Temperature Sensor Probe solves this challenge by providing a secure mechanical threaded connection that locks directly into tapped mounting holes.

Built with Grade 1 NiCr-NiSi thermocouple wires, this high temperature thermocouple sensor delivers accurate millivolt signal output from 0°C to 600°C (32°F to 1112°F). The outer stainless steel braided thermocouple wire serves as a rugged shield, preventing abrasion, wire twisting, and electromagnetic noise interference in demanding factory environments. Every M6 threaded thermocouple probe produced by Hongtai Heater Factory undergoes 100% resistance and insulation resistance testing before shipment.

  • ✓Vibration-Proof M6 Thread: Precision M6 metric thread design ensures intimate contact with the heat source, eliminating sensor displacement caused by machine vibration.
  • ✓Ultra-Fast Thermal Response: Direct-contact probe tip delivers rapid temperature sensing for tight PID loop control.
  • ✓Stainless Steel Braid Shielding: Durable stainless steel braided thermocouple wire protects inner fiberglass insulation from mechanical stress, friction, and pulling forces.
  • ✓ANSI Color-Coded Terminals: Features standardized Yellow (+ Chromel) and Red (- Alumel) terminal pin connectors for fail-safe wiring.
  • ✓Custom Lead Lengths: Available in standard 1m, 2m, 3m, or custom lead lengths tailored to your machinery layout.

Rough threads with burrs that jam holes Prevents thread stripping in high-value mold blocks.
Conductor Quality 

Premium Grade 1 K type screw thread sensor core

Low-grade alloy wires with high signal error Eliminates temperature reading drift and PID hunting.
Cable Protection 

High-density stainless steel braided thermocouple wire

Loose braid with exposed inner insulation

Prevents short circuits caused by oil or condensation exposure.

Terminal Crimping 

Sealed heat-shrink pin/fork terminals

Bare wires or loose crimps

Ensures reliable PLC contact without loose wire strands.

Installation & Handling Guidelines

  • Clean Threaded Holes: Clear dirt, metal chips, or old anti-seize compound from the tapped M6 hole before screwing in the probe.
  • Proper Tightening Torque: Hand-tighten the M6 K Type Threaded Thermocouple Temperature Sensor Probe and snug lightly with a wrench. Avoid over-tightening to protect thread engagement.
  • Correct Wiring Polarity: Match the terminal connections to your PID controller or temperature module: Yellow (+) is Positive and Red (-) is Negative under ANSI standards.
  • Avoid Sharp Wire Bends: Route the stainless steel braided thermocouple wire with a smooth bending radius to prevent damaging internal glass fiber insulation.
