I always do tc attachment myself. I need these people not to hate me. :/

That might be the stuff. I think what baffles me is that it was readily available and packaged as "thermocouple attachment solder" or some such description, but they apparently don't seem to have it available by that name. It's not a critical issue,

What are you using? I'm having a tough time finding something I used to use (Kester, seems like it had a liquidus temp. of about 265�).

I also use a very high lead content solder for this. Its awful to solder with but works quite well once you have it on...

I am looking for some sources for a reuseable thermocouple probe. We do small prototype runs and many times cannot afford to be scrapping boards for profiling. I am looking for a probe that will clamp to a pcb or pcb carrier and allow me to manipulat

Hello Fredrick, I have used several methods of TC attachment including quick set adheasives (not good at reflow temps as Dave suggests) long set two part epoxies (work well if you have the time to wait for a sufficiant cure) temprobes, tape (kapton
