Abstract
A portable thermocouple template is built to have one or more separate thermocouple beads fixedly attached at predetermined locations on a thin insulator sheet, with appropriate tape or the like for holding each thermocouple and its pair of connector wires in position on the sheet. The template is mountable between interconnected electronic components, such as on the pin side of a multichip module, in order to monitor the temperature of the adjacent components under actual operating conditions. After the test is completed and the temperature data is recorded and/or displayed on a data logger, the template and related assembly wires are removed and stored until such time as the template is needed for mounting again in order for additional thermal tests to be conducted.
