455-9916 RS PRO In-Line Thermocouple Connector for Use with Type T Thermocouple, Miniature, IEC Standard

RS PRO IEC Colour Coded Miniature In-Line Thermocouple Socket Connectors_x000D_ From RS PRO a miniature in-line thermocouple socket connector which is colour coded in accordance with IEC specification. This thermocouple socket is ideal for connecting your thermocouple probe or wire terminals to extension or compensating cables. This female socket also provides a quick, safe and error-free way of replacing your existing thermocouples. The socket housing is made from a rugged glass-filled thermoplastic which is impact resistant and able to withstand high temperatures of up to 220°C. The terminals on this female connector accept polarized flat pin contacts to ensure an accurate connection. The housing is IEC colour coded with the thermocouple type clearly indicated on the front for easy identification._x000D_ What is a Thermocouple Connector?_x000D_ 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 socket connector can then be mated with a miniature thermocouple plug connector._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ • Terminals made from true thermocouple alloys or compensating material for accurate signal transmission_x000D_ • IEC colour coding for quick and easy identification_x000D_ • Accepts polarised flat pin contacts for an accurate connection_x000D_ • Made from rugged glass-filled thermoplastic_x000D_ • Able to withstand a high temperature of 220°C_x000D_ • For use with stranded or solid wires_x000D_ • Accepts thermocouple cable up to 4mm in diameter_x000D_ • Simple captive screw clamp connection for quick assembly_x000D_ • Polarity and thermocouple type clearly marked on housings_x000D_ Applications_x000D_ These miniature sockets are used in any application where thermocouples are installed, extended or replaced.
