What is a temperature probe? What are the differences in wiring between thermocouples and RTDs? How should you choose among K, N, S, E, and J types?

It is common practice to refer to both thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) as temperature sensors, but in fact they are two different things. This page mainly discusses thermocouple wiring types, not RTDs. If this causes any misunderstanding, we…
