Things to remember for Choosing Thermocouple Connectors

Thermocouples are inevitable for industries where temperature measurement and control are of utmost importance from operational as well as safety point of view. Thermocouples connector pairs thermocouples probes to measuring instrument, control system or digital indicator ad extensions. Connectors guarantee that the temperature measurement of the thermocouple sensor or lead wire is shown accurately on the display. Each connector has polarised pins to maintain connectivity. The connectors are available in a range of designs, utility and shapes: miniature, universal, standard size, embedded with analogue output and high-temperature connectors.

Depending on the size and shape of the connectors, Pins are selected. Build of these connectors is to withstand high temperature and rugged construction scenarios. Since the connectors are colour coded based on the types, it is simpler to sync the connector with thermocouple wire and sensor. Thermocouples connectors are available in flawless design, high functioning capabilities and damage resistance.

Things to Remember for Using Thermocouple Connectors:

Choosing accurate type from the multiple connector range is important to ensure Milli Volt signal is transmitted to the measuring instruments

Connector types, such as J,K, T,E N, etc., should be compatible with the thermocouple sensor types

Following the standards of colour coded connectors, such as Standards IEC, ANSI among others, is a pre-requisite while selecting the right connector

Thorough scrutiny of the material of the connector based on the maximum Operating Temperature is important:

• Thermoplastic : 200 deg C 
• Thermoset: 425 deg C
• Ceramic : 650 deg C

For best prices, connectors with round Hollow Pin design is most preferred since they are less frequently opted for among the other design ranges

For constant removal and rough use, connector in Solid Pin design serves as a good choice.
