RS PRO, Standard Thermocouple Connector for Use with Thermocouple, 6mm Probe, ANSI, RoHS Compliant Standard / 2209518

RS PRO IEC & ANSI Colour Coded Quick Connect Thermocouple Plug Connectors Introducing the range of RS PRO standard and miniature in-line thermocouple plug connector which is colour coded in accordance with IEC and ANSI specifications. This thermocouple plug is ideal for connecting your thermocouple probe or wire terminals to extension or compensating cables. This male plug also provides a quick, safe and error-free way of replacing your existing thermocouples. The plug housing is made from a rugged thermoplastic which is impact resistant and able to withstand high temperatures of up to 220°C. The pins on this male connector have a flat or round pin design and are polarised to ensure an accurate connection. Features and Benefits: These RS PRO thermocouple plug connector pins are made from true thermocouple alloys or compensating material for accurate signal transmission Each connector has polarised contacts for an accurate connection and prevent mis-mating and are able to withstand a maximum continuous temperature of 220°C Miniature connector comes with flat plug pins and the standard connector comes with solid round pins – Both have an easy ’jab in’ quick connect function for fast and efficient installation Colour coded in accordance with IEC or ANSI specification for quick and easy identification Applications: These miniature plugs are used in any application where thermocouples are installed, extended or replaced. Their robust construction makes these miniature thermocouple connectors ideal for use even in the most demanding temperature measurement applications. What is a Thermocouple Connector? 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. Why RS PRO?
