New Concept in Thermal Profiling

NOW with a new higher temperature design
TEMPROBE™ is a patented, precision temperature sensing instrument. The subminiature thermocouple tip can be placed anywhere on a board, including profiling in wet solder paste or on fine pitch component legs. TEMPROBE is used in place of a conventional thermocouple to monitor the temperature of critical solder joints or components in solderering and rework processes. TEMPROBE is compatible with all thermal profilers.

Quality, Precision, Function

  • Prevent PCB Damage - Eliminate soldering or bonding of thermocouples to PCBs.
  • Cut Labor Cost - Installation and removal take just seconds.
  • Produce Reliable Profiles - High contact pressure and low thermal mass give fast, reliable response.
  • Profile in Wet Solder Paste - Profile the first pass of a PCB through the oven.
  • Monitor Temperature Anywhere - Small, durable thermocouple tip fits in tight places.

Clip, Position, Profile and Save!
One of our customers, who used to tape or solder two thermocouples to each board for profiling, is now using two TEMPROBEs. He calculated savings of over $6000 per year by switching from traditional thermocouple attachment to TEMPROBEs. Take a look at his calculations, then fill in your own worksheet to see what TEMPROBE can do for you (hit the TAB key after each entry for automatic calculation).
