88L75K Thin Leaf-Type Thermocouple Handle Probes for Flat Surfaces

Supported Applications

The Omega 88L series consists of thin leaf-type thermocouple handle probes designed for the instant measurement of temperature on flat surfaces. These unique leaf style surface probes feature ultra-low thermal mass and flexible construction, making them suitable for rugged industrial applications where rapid response is required.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The series utilizes Type K thermocouple elements with a documented operating range of 0 to 300°C (32 to 572°F). Accuracy is specified as ±2°C (±4°F) across this measurement envelope. The probes achieve a response time of less than 5 seconds.

Physical dimensions for the series include an overall length of 136.5 mm (5.38 in) and a diameter of 9.52 mm (0.38 in). Two insertion lengths are available: 40 mm (1.5 in) on model 88L40K and 75 mm (3 in) on model 88L75K.

Configuration Options

The series is supplied with an ergonomic handle, a protective leaf cover, and a coiled cord that measures 25 mm (1') retracted and stretches to over 1.5 m (5'). Standard electrical connections include the SMPW Miniature Connector with Mating Connector or TAS with Clip and Clamp.

Connector options are available as additional configurations:

• M8-S-M: Male straight M8 plug
• M12-S-M: Male straight M12 plug
• M8-R-M: Male right-angled M8 plug
• Male right-angled M12 plug (listed as option code in source text)

To order these connector options, the specific suffix is added to the model number for additional cost.

Key Product Differences

The primary distinction between models within this series is the leaf insertion length. Model 88L40K features a 40 mm (1.5 in) dimension, while model 88L75K provides a 75 mm (3 in) dimension. Both variants share the same maximum temperature rating of 300°C (572°F), accuracy class, and overall handle construction.
