I am building a project that uses two K Type thermocouples connected to AD595 ic's.
In previous versions of this, I have soldered to pads designed as per the AD595 datasheet. The datasheet seems to suggest this is the best way to do it, since introducing other junctions into the circuit messes up the readings.
How do companies do it with jacks on their products? For example, most remote BBQ thermometers I have seen have a jack that allows you to unplug the thermocouple. Makes it easier to clean, store, etc.
Can I use a jack / plug arrangement with K Type thermocouples? Would it just mean my calibration routine would come up with a different value? Any disadvantages to this idea?
Thanks for any and all replies
