Type: | Thermocouple |
Also known as: | Thermopile |
Description: | A Thermocouple is a type of temperature sensor that can be used to convert thermal potential difference into electric potential difference as well. These devices can measure a large range of temperatures, though their accuracy is sometimes difficult to gauge within a system error of less then one degree. Relatively cheap, this part also comes with standard connectors and is interchangeable. |
