611-8179 RS PRO High Temperature Thermocouple Connector for Use with Type J Thermocouple, Standard, IEC Standard

RS PRO Standard In-Line High-Temperature Thermocouple Socket Connectors_x000D_ From RS PRO a standard in-line high-temperature thermocouple socket connector that accepts solid round, polarized pins to ensure an accurate connection. The housing of this female socket is made from high strength thermoset plastic enabling it to withstand temperatures of up to 425°C. This standard size thermocouple socket is ideal for connecting your thermocouple probe or wire terminals to extension or compensating cables. This socket also provides a quick, safe and error-free way of replacing your existing thermocouples._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 or terminals 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 thermocouple socket connector can then be mated with a thermocouple plug connector._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ • Contacts made from true thermocouple alloys or compensating material for accurate signal transmission_x000D_ • High strength, heavy duty thermoset plastic housing_x000D_ • Can withstand temperatures of up to 425°C._x000D_ • Brown colour code for quick and easy identification_x000D_ • Accepts solid round polarised pin contacts for an accurate connection_x000D_ • For use with stranded or solid wires_x000D_ • Simple captive screw clamp connection for quick assembly_x000D_ • Polarity and thermocouple type clearly marked on the housing_x000D_ Applications_x000D_ These standard connectors are used in industrial applications where thermocouples are installed, extended or replaced. Their robust construction and ability to withstand very high temperature ranges make these thermocouple connectors ideal for use even in the most demanding temperature measurement applications.
