RS Components 455-9764, RS PRO In-Line Thermocouple Connector for Use with Type K Thermocouple, Miniature Size, IEC Standard

Thermocouple connectors are an accurate and convenient way of interconnecting your temperature sensing components. Using these connectors allows a chain to be formed from the measuring tip of your temperature sensor to the host computer or meter. It is important that all the components in the chain are made from the same thermocouple material to prevent any alteration or distortion of the original signal. To achieve this, thermocouple connectors have pins made from the same material as the thermocouple they are being used to connect or a compensating material. The connector housing has the thermocouple type clearly printed on it and is also colour coded to allow easy identification. The connector is opened up and the thermocouple wires are simply screwed down into place using two captive screw clamps. The miniature thermocouple plug connector can then be plugged into a mating miniature thermocouple socket connector.

Features:
• Pins made from true thermocouple alloys or compensating material for accurate signal transmission.
• Polarised flat pin contacts for an accurate connection.
• IEC colour coding for quick and easy identification.
• For use with stranded or solid wires.
