K type thermocouple comparison - Digilent 240-080 vs Adafruit 270

[TravisMey]

Hello,

I am an educator working to create a lab exercise around temperature measurements. I had previously purchased a K-type thermocouple from Adafruit (Product # 270, link - https://www.adafruit.com/product/270#description). It worked very well, but when I went to purchase more to fill out each experimental kit it is unfortunately out of stock. I am now looking for other suppliers of similar thermocouples and came across Digilent 240-080. From my novice point of view it seems to be a comparable product, but I wanted to check to make sure the two thermocouples will have similar technical behavior.

Thanks so much!

Hello @TravisMey.

Yes, both thermocouples appear to be comparable products; 1-meter long, K-type, glass braid insulation.

Digilent 240-080

Thanks! I wasn't sure if there were different K-type thermocouples could have different properties (response time, etc) or if they all performed identically
