I will replace it but I need to get it going & over memorial day WE I aint gonna find one.
Full Version: CHT question for the Electrical experts
So will the soldering of the lead cause or change the operating resistance ?

Not an electrical engineer, but I think you will be safe. the range in ohms of the CHT is pretty large, like <99-3200 . so an added resistance of an ohm or two should NOT make much difference.

I think you will be ok if you are going copper to copper. The voltages from the thermocouples are in the microvolt range as I recall, so it doesn’t pay to add resistance.
I have a couple of spare cht’s
CHT ? CHT??
Are we talking about the one screwed in the head near #3 chamber, or we talking about one that screws under a spark plug.
the spark plug ones are thermocouples but I'm not sure if the #3chamber are TC's or a different thermistor device. Experts needed.

Crimp only.
I did this with the VDO on my bug because the plugs are 12mm, works perfectly...for a VDO.
