1/4″ Open Tip Thermocouple Length: 1.18m (46.5″)

Precision Engine Diagnostics: 1/4″ Open Tip Thermocouple (1.18m)

For the tuner who demands precision, the 1.18m (46.5″) 1/4″ Open Tip Thermocouple is an indispensable tool. Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) provides a window into the combustion chamber, revealing details about fuel mixture, ignition timing, and engine health that Lambda sensors alone cannot show. This probe is engineered with an exposed junction (open tip) to deliver the rapid response times necessary for dynamic tuning and datalogging in motorsport applications.

Engineered for Response

The critical advantage of this sensor is its exposed Type K junction. By eschewing the protective sheath at the very tip, the thermal mass is minimized, allowing the sensor to react nearly instantaneously to changes in gas temperature. This is vital for detecting cylinder-to-cylinder variances or transient lean spots that could damage engine components. While sheathed sensors are slower and more suited to steady-state industrial use, this open-tip design is built for the rapid fluctuations of a high-performance engine environment.

Application Specifics

With a lead length of 1.18 meters (46.5 inches), this unit is perfectly sized for applications where the sensor interface is mounted relatively close to the engine, reducing signal wire length to minimize noise susceptibility. It connects to any standard thermocouple amplifier via the included Mini K Type connector.

• Type K Standard: Universal compatibility with automotive loggers and ECUs.
• Robust 1/4″ Shank: Provides structural stability in high-velocity exhaust streams.
• Fast Data: Essential for setting up safety trims in advanced ECUs.

Installation Note

Includes probe and connector only. Does not include compression fitting or bung. These must be sourced separately to match your exhaust fabrication requirements.
