RS PRO Type K Thermocouple Extension Lead 3 m Length, 7 mm Diameter, -10 °C → 105 °C Max

From RS PRO, thermocouple connectors consisting of a standard thermocouple plug and thermocouple socket connector. These thermocouple connectors have been terminated together via a flat pair 7/0.2 mm PVC insulated thermocouple cable providing a quick, safe and error-free way of replacing your existing thermocouples. ;The connector housings are made from a rugged thermoplastic which is impact resistant and able to withstand high temperatures of up to 200°C. The terminals on the plug have a flat design and are polarised to ensure an accurate connection when mated with the female socket. The housings of these miniature thermocouple connectors are colour coded in accordance with JIS specification.

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, and the thermocouple wires are simply screwed down into place using two captive screw clamps.

These miniature plug and socket connectors are used in any application where thermocouples are installed, extended or replaced. Their robust construction makes these standard thermocouple connectors ideal for use even in the most demanding temperature measurement applications.
