Fluke 80AK-A Thermocouple Adapter K to Banana Plug

SKU CH-HJH7-2J4JN

Converts a multimeter into a thermometer for Type K thermocouples up to 1,000 °C in low-voltage circuits below 24 V AC or 60 V DC

  • Product typeEnvironmental & Mechanical
  • Converts a DMM into a thermometer
  • Works with Type K thermocouples in low voltage applications
  • Measures from -50 to 1,000 degrees C
  • Safe below 24 V AC and 60 V DC
  • Includes a bead probe for immediate use

What this adapter does

The Fluke 80AK-A converts a digital multimeter into a thermometer for Type K thermocouples. It is intended for technicians who need quick temperature readings in low-voltage environments. The adapter accepts a miniature Type K connector and outputs to standard banana plugs. Buyers who need to measure temperature above 1,000 °C or with other thermocouple types cannot use this adapter.

Voltage limits for safe use

The adapter is rated for circuits below 24 V AC or 60 V DC. Exceeding these voltages can damage the multimeter and create a safety hazard. It is not suitable for mains-voltage measurements or high-energy industrial circuits. Users must verify that the test point stays within the stated low-voltage range before connecting.

Measurement range decides suitability

The included bead probe covers a range from -50 °C to 1,000 °C. This span fits most HVAC, automotive and general electronics troubleshooting tasks. Applications requiring cryogenic temperatures below -50 °C or extreme heat above 1,000 °C will need a different probe and adapter combination.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single adapter or a multi-piece kit?

The listing shows one Fluke 80AK-A adapter that accepts a Type K thermocouple and plugs into standard banana jacks, so you only need this single unit to start measuring.

What does the -50 to 1000 °C range mean when I plug it into my multimeter?

It lets your DMM read temperatures from -50 °C up to 1000 °C as long as the circuit stays below 24 V AC or 60 V DC, covering most low-voltage HVAC and automotive tasks.

Does the banana-plug interface limit the voltage I can measure on?

Yes, the adapter is rated for circuits up to 24 V AC or 60 V DC; exceeding those voltages can damage the adapter and create a safety hazard.
