Hi, we purchased the waterproof J-type thermocouple from this website, and can't find a spec sheet anywhere for it. We need to attach it to an OpAmp and A/D converter so that we can use it for feedback on a program using a Microchip PIC microcontroller. Since the thermocouple has no discernible branding on it, and came with no information, we are kind of stuck. Help??? :?:

Not sure what you'd need to know in addition to the type J designation. All type J thermocouples will have essentially the same electrical/temperature characteristics. Try Googling Type J thermocouple for basic info on I/V vs Temp.
