Hi,

I need to connect my TCK type K to the brass component which has working temperature approximately 200degC.
I intend to drill/tap a hole in the brass (M3) and fix TCK to it with a bolt.

I wonder whether using ring crimp terminal as the tip for the termocouple would be a good option.

If yes, I think it would be good to use brass made rings.

What do you think? Is the ring crimp terminal a right choice as the connection tip for TCK type K?

Please help.
Thank you.

That should work just fine. Omega does just that with some of their assemblies. See their http://www.omega.com/pptst/WT.html.
