Anritsu CR Series temperature probes measure soldering-iron tip temperatures. Select the probe according to the tip diameter and your instrument’s thermocouple input.
Anritsu CR Series probes measure the temperature of soldering-iron tips. Choose the sensing element according to the tip diameter, then match the thermocouple type and connection to your temperature instrument.
Tip-temperature checks provide a measured reference when reviewing soldering conditions. The contact arrangement matters: select the correct probe size and follow the instrument’s measurement procedure for consistent readings.

| Probe type | Type K model | Type E model | Soldering-iron tip diameter |
|---|---|---|---|
| CR-31 | CR-31K | CR-31E | Below 1.5 mm |
| CR-32 | CR-32K | CR-32E | 1.5 to 4 mm |
The manufacturer lists these probes in sets of two pieces. Confirm the required model and number of sets when ordering.
| Parameter | CR-31 / CR-32 |
|---|---|
| Measurement range | 0 to 500°C |
| Thermocouple type | Type K or Type E, selected by model |
| Tolerance above 100°C to 300°C | ±4.0°C |
| Tolerance above 300°C to 500°C | ±5.0°C |
| Published response time | 5 seconds under the manufacturer’s test conditions |
| Repairability | Non-repairable |
The published response time is based on reaching 99% of the temperature change in boiling water or vapour; it is not a guaranteed soldering-tip settling time. The sensing-element temperature limit does not establish the allowable temperature of the cable, base or connector.
The Anritsu CRB Series base connects CR probes to thermometers other than the HS Series soldering-iron temperature gauges. If you are using a separate handheld thermometer, confirm the base, thermocouple type and plug configuration as part of the complete arrangement.
| Type K base reference | Type E base reference |
|---|---|
| CRB-K-TS0.5-ANP | CRB-E-TS0.5-ANP |
| CRB-K-TS1-ANP | CRB-E-TS1-ANP |
Specify whether you need replacement sensing elements or a complete setup with the base and thermometer. Do not assume the base or thermometer is included with a probe set.
Send Seacom the soldering-iron tip diameter or a clear photograph, your operating temperature, thermometer model and existing probe reference. Include the required quantity and whether a CRB base is needed.
