I have a handheld thermistor probe. It's a pretty standard 10k NTC
thermistor in a stainless body with a plastic handle and some cable
leading to banana plugs. It came for free with a Radio Shack DMM years
ago and is perfectly functional.
I'd like to get some more similar to it. I thought they would be
trivial to find and cost $10. This has not proved to be the case. In
fact, I have had great difficulty finding any whatsoever.
I have found a lot of industrial ones designed to be permanently mounted
and costing upwards of $50, neither of which are properties I want.
There are also a great lot of thermocouples, and thermocouples are very
nice, but I don't want them for this - I don't need the range and too
many components are required to amplify the signal. It's also easy to
get thermistors, but I have no desire to put my own bodies and handles
on them, either.
Does anybody know where I can get maybe a dozen of the right thing for
under $20 each? If it costs much more than that, I can buy prebuilt
handheld thermometer units and throw out the display.
I am located in the United States.
