FAQs
What is a thermocouple connector?
A thermocouple connector is a specialised plug or socket designed 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 avoid measurement errors.
What is the difference between thermocouple and RTD connectors?
Thermocouple connectors use compensating or matching metal contacts, whereas 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 preferred for industrial environments where robustness 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 220°C and higher options upt to 650°C available for specialist applications.
