Overview
The Omega KMQSS-062G-6 is a quick-disconnect thermocouple probe with miniature SMP connector termination, engineered for accurate temperature measurement in industrial and laboratory environments. This Type K thermocouple operates from 0°C to 920°C (32°F to 1690°F) and features a grounded junction for fast response time and minimal electrical noise immunity. The probe combines proven Omega reliability with compact miniature connector design, making it ideal for process control, material testing, and equipment monitoring applications.
Key Features
- Type K Thermocouple — 0–920°C (32–1690°F) operating range with proven accuracy
- Grounded Junction — Fast thermal response and direct contact with probe sheath for quick readings
- 304 Stainless Steel Sheath — Superior corrosion resistance and durability in harsh industrial environments
