Description
The KTA-259v5 Thermocouple Multiplexer Shield is designed to easily allow multiple high temperature readings with an Arduino control board. With the new version there are multiple advantages over the old KTA-259, namely, wider temperature range including below 0C, higher accuracy, higher resolution and ability to use more thermocouple types (dependent on model). Screw terminals are provided for thermocouple connections as thermocouple wires can not be soldered.
Note: This version comes with headers pre-soldered to the board. Please allow 24 hours for shipment.

Screw terminals are provided for thermocouple connections as thermocouple wires can not be soldered. Uses: Automotive - Engine, Exhaust and Brake temperatures are higher than most temperature sensors can handle, but within the range of Thermocouples. Ovens, Furnaces and Kilns - At temperatures where other temperature sensors will not operate. Freezer or Cryogenic monitoring - Where temperatures are well below 0C. Chemical Processes - Where corrosive chemicals may damage probes or reach high temperatures thermocouples are more readily available for such processes. Multi-Zone Temperature Monitoring, Data Acquisition or Logging Systems- With cheap readily available thermocouples.[1] This is the range of temperatures that a thermocouple of this type can measure, the Measured Temperature Range is the actual range the KTA-259 can digitize.[2] KTA-259 and KTB-259 are discontinued and are included for reference only.
