Prepare the header strip:
Cut the strip to length if necessary. It will be easier to solder if you insert it into a breadboard - long pins down. |
|
Add the breakout board:
Place the breakout board over the pins so that the short pins poke through the breakout pads |
|
And Solder!
Be sure to solder all 5 pins for reliable electrical contact.
|
|
Now you can do the terminal block, this is what you'll use to attach the thermocouple since you cannot solder to thermocouples
|
|
Solder the two pads as you did with the plain header. They're quite large and require a lot of solder |
|
Insert the thermocouple wires and tighten down the clamps with a small Phillips or flat screwdriver |
|
That's it! you are now ready to wire and test |
