The best CHT probe Ive used. Others break easily, this one looks to be sturdy and reliable.

No problem with this and the other parts received under the same order. However, I was disappointed with the time the time the remaining parts were left on back order. This is probably not Aircraft Spruces fault due to the virus etc etc but had more stock been held it may have been avoided.

It would connect to the spade terminal that is attached to the wire.
