88107E Thermocouple Handle Probes for High Temperature Surfaces

 Supported Applications

The Omega Series 88000 consists of handheld thermocouple surface temperature probes designed for measuring the surface temperatures of small electronic parts, as well as high-temperature environments such as ovens and furnaces. The series includes right-angle pencil-head models specifically suited to stationary surfaces.

Operating Conditions & Performance

All probes in this series meet Standard Limits of Error for thermocouple accuracy. Maximum surface temperature ratings vary by model configuration:

• 760°C (1400°F): Models 88106, 88107, 88108, and 88010.
• 480°C (900°F): Models 88006, 88016, and 88026.
• 250°C (480°F): Model 88007.

The series features a fast-response design. Specific numeric response times are not provided in the documentation; performance is described qualitatively as "fast response." Sheath lengths for high-temperature right-angle models include 102 mm (4") for model 88106, 203 mm (8") for model 88107, and a 300 mm (12") reach for models 88108 and 88010.

Configuration Options

The Series 88000 offers configurable sensor types, connector options, and serviceability features to accommodate different measurement needs:

• Sensor Types: Available with Type K (CHROMEGA-ALOMEGA) or Type E (CHROMEGA-Constantan) thermocouples. The calibration code is appended as a suffix (e.g., "K" or "E").
• Connectors: All models are supplied standard with a molded SMP or SMPW subminiature male connector. A TAS adaptor is sold separately.
• Optional Plugs: Male M8 or M12 straight and right-angled plugs can be added via model number suffixes (e.g., M8-S-M, M12-S-M, M8-R-M) at additional cost. Note: The printed text lists "M12-S-M" for both straight and right-angled configurations.
• Replaceable Elements: Factory replaceable element service is available by adding the suffix -RE to the model number (e.g., 88026K-RE). Replacement elements are not included with new probes and must be ordered separately. OMEGA can install these elements for an additional cost.
• Housing Styles: Includes miniature fast-response models, right-angle long-reach probes, and pencil-head designs where the sensing head is either parallel or perpendicular to the handle.

Key Product Differences

The series distinguishes between high-temperature reach configurations and miniature surface contact styles:
• High-Temperature Reach Models (88106, 88107, 88108): Right-angle probes rated to 760°C (1400°F) with sheath lengths of 102 mm (4"), 203 mm (8"), and 300 mm (12") respectively.
• Oven/Furnace Model (88010): A long, 300 mm (12") reach version of the miniature probe design, rated to 760°C (1400°F).
• Miniature Models (88006, 88007): Fast-response probes for small electronic parts; model 88006 is rated to 480°C (900°F) and model 88007 to 250°C (480°F).
• Pencil-Head Models (88016, 88026): High-temperature right-angle probes with miniature pencil-type heads rated to 480°C (900°F). Model 88016 features a sensing head parallel to the handle; model 88026 has a sensing head perpendicular to the handle.
