FAQs
What is a thermocouple connector?
A thermocouple connector is a specialized plug or jack used to connect thermocouple cables to instruments while maintaining correct polarity and temperature accuracy.
Are thermocouple connectors different for each thermocouple type?
Yes. Thermocouple connectors are matched to specific thermocouple types (such as Type K, J, or T) and must use the correct alloy contacts to prevent measurement errors.
What is the difference between thermocouple and RTD connectors?
Thermocouple connectors use compensating or matching metal contacts, while RTD connectors are designed for resistance-based sensors such as Pt100 and Pt1000 and use standard copper contacts.
What is the difference between miniature and standard connectors?
Miniature connectors are compact and commonly used in laboratory and OEM applications, while standard connectors are larger and typically used in industrial environments where durability is required.
What temperature ratings are thermocouple connectors available in?
Thermocouple connectors are available in a range of temperature ratings depending on the body material, with common ratings up to 425°F and higher options up to 1200°F available for specialized applications.
