What are Type C Thermocouple Connectors?

• Type C Thermocouple Connectors are designed to accurately transfer the signal generated by the Extreme High Temperature Tungsten–Rhenium Thermocouple Probes to the temperature measurement instrumentation. 
• Connector Temperature Range is determined by connector body material.
• Engineered Thermoplastic design is rated 400°F (200°C)
• High Temperature Thermoset design 650°F (350°C)
• Ultra High Temperature Thermoset 800°F (425°C) and Intermittent capabilities at 1000°F (540°C)
• Ceramic 1200 °F (650 °C) 
• Material Content - the metal connector pins within the Type C connectors consists of specially matched Compensating Alloys. They are not made with the thermocouple alloys due to mechanical properties, costs and other factors associated with Type C thermocouple materials.
• Temperature Range of the Compensating Alloy utilized in the male and female connector pins typically is in the range of 32°F to 1600°F (0°C to 870°C). This temperature range should be confirmed with your supplier.
• Type C Thermocouple Sensors measure temperatures up to 4,200 F (2300 C) and are utilized in a protective, inert, or vacuum atmospheres for a wide range of industries, such as semiconductor, solar and other power generation technologies and aerospace.
