Thermocouple Connectors Plugs & Jacks
TIPTEMP Thermocouple & RTD Plugs in Jack’s provide dependable, quick connections between thermocouples and extension wires.
Polarized pins make it virtually impossible to mismate. Alloys of prongs and inserts match ANSI calibrations to maintain sensing accuracies. Alloy and polarity are identified by symbols molded into the body.
TIPTEMP Thermocouple & RTD connectors are molded from glass-filled, high-strength, thermoset compounds that will not melt. Additionally, Thermocouple connectors are color-coded to match their calibration identification and can be used in ambient temperatures to 400°F (205°C) continuous and 500°F (260°C) intermittent. High Temp connectors are color-coded RED and can be used to 800°F (425°C) continuous and 1000°F (540°C ) intermittent.
Our unique designed terminals require only a quarter-inch of insulation removed. The wire is sandwiched between contacts of Thermocouple alloy without damage. Looped wire ends are eliminated. Simple two-piece construction.
For corrosive applications, gold-plated contacts are available. ***Caution*** System errors can result from use of plated Contacts if a significant thermal gradient exists at the connector. Speak with a TIPTEMP Thermal Advisor.
