A leaf thermocouple is a specialized temperature sensor designed for accurate surface temperature measurement of flat & curved surfaces with minimal heat transfer. It consists of a thin, flexible metal leaf or foil that maintains close contact with the surface, minimizing thermal mass and enhancing response time. They are often equipped with an insulated wire and connector, enabling easy connection to temperature measurement devices like digital thermometers or data loggers.

Application Note
Temperature measurement plays a vital role across various industries to ensure optimal performance and quality. In manufacturing, it is commonly used to measure the temperature of metal sheets, molds, dies, and machine components to prevent overheating and ensure precision. In aircraft and vehicle testing, temperature sensors monitor surface heat distribution to optimize performance and safety. In electronics, they are crucial for monitoring circuit board and chip temperatures during production to prevent damage and ensure reliability. In the food and beverage industries, temperature sensors measure cooking surfaces, packaging, and processing equipment to maintain quality and safety standards. Additionally, in the injection molding process, temperature monitoring is essential for controlling mold temperatures, ensuring consistency, and achieving high-quality molded products. These applications highlight the importance of precise temperature control across various sectors.
