Guys, Unfortunately breakaways aren't an option - they are large boards and we already have problems hand placing components and probing them. The ridges - yes we can remove a few - and that solves one problem (boards bashing together and damaging

Anyone ever design an external thermocouple that connected back to an enclosed PCB? If so, how did you make the interconnect or solder joint to the board? Did you change metals to a solder friendly material? The problem we have is an external t-
