Standard Size Thermocouple Connectors - Items tagged as "Thmk-sp"
Standard Size Thermocouple Connectors are approximately 2 times the length, width and thickness of miniature thermocouple connectors along with having round thermocouple pins as compared to the flat pins utilized on the mini connectors.
9 Types of Thermocouple Connector Calibrationsorthermocouple types
J, K, T, E, and Ncalibrationsrepresent the most commonly used designs, sometimes referred as Base Metal Thermocouples.
TypeC, R/S, U (B) thermocouplesare utilized in much more specific, and many times higher temperature ranges or applications
Connector Bodiesare available in 4 different materials providing a range from -40 F to 1200 F (-40 C to 650 C)
Thermoplastics- Most utilized material and a temperature range of -40 to 400°F plus(-40 to 200°C) with a good level of mechanical durability.
Thermosets - for a continuous 500°F to800°F(260°F to 425°C)range. Some connectors made from thermosets can crack more readily then the thermoplastic connector design, although the thermoset has a higher level of impact resistance as compared to ceramics.
High TemperatureThermosets - can operate at 800°F(425°C)continuously with intermittent temperature capabilities to 1000°F(540°C).
Ceramicswith capabilities in the -20to 1200 °F(-29 to 650 °C) range. Can be utilized in Vacuum applications with very limited potential of outgassing or contamination. Ceramic connectorsare more susceptible to mechanical damage as compared to thermoplastic or thermoset designs.
Connector Designsinclude male plugs and female jacks or sockets in 2, 3 and 4 Pin configurations.
2 Pins is the most commonly used design and support 1 thermocouple circuit.
A 3 Pin design is 1 thermocouple circuit with the 3rd pin providing a Grounding Capability to minimize electrical interference
Dual or 4 pin thermocouple connectors supports 2 thermocouple circuits
