-* https://www.geocorpinc.com/ These folks have a business about thermocouples. The website might be a useful resource to look into. There is a thermocouple builder page, which gives graphics (of connectors) and that is useful. I made a video of the connectors to save you the time of going to their website (and in case they remove the wizard from the website). Note the smaller size of the mini connector, as well as the red colouring for the high temp version.

 ===Spools of 20 AWG Solid BC Polyethylene Wire===
-I was at the thrift store and found some wire used for the Innotek Electric Dog Fence, possibly. It was a spool of green 20AWG Copper wire, and it lasted me about a year. It was the best wire I've come across, and you can buy more spools of it on the auction site for about $30. However, there is some bit of gaming going on, as the new spool was not as good. I bought another one, this time labeled with Carris Reels, which was the manufacturer of the original spool I had, and that was a bit better, but still not 100%. Anyways, it was good enough. This wire was a joy to use, and I used it for all twist ties in my (mostly) ethernet work. I'm still on the search for the original wire, but that will have to wait as time and budget permits. Maybe it's actually the same. Production quality can differ of course. There are a few different search terms you can use to look for the wire, but start with Innotek Dog Wire, and you will see spools show up. You will also help in tracking visits to my blog to serve the surveillance economy. Just kidding.

 I try to reuse all the wire that I 'use' as twist ties. With zip ties, that is not possible. I hate zip ties.
