Do you actually need a special thermocouple connector? Last time I=20
needed to hook up a thermocouple I just used an ordinary micro spox.

Afaict all you achive by using a special connector is moving the=20
reference junction from the cable-connector interface to the=20
connector-pcb interface. That gets the reference junction slightly=20
closer to whatever temp sensor you are using as a reference but I doubt=20
it will make much difference in practice.
