Cables: the vital link in thermocouples
The Labfacility range of thermocouple connectors and cables is designed to provide optimum accuracy in the vital link between the sensor and instrumentation.
The time savings compared with conventional connectors represents a significant cost benefit in sensor production processes and where repairs or fitting are carried out on plant.
The new connectors are available in the common thermocouple types JKTE and N using true thermocouple alloys throughout so that an error-free circuit is ensured.
For types R and S, compensating alloys are used to provide good accuracy.
The bodies are moulded in glass filled polyester rated for 220oC continuous use and are IEC-584 colour coded.
Alternative versions with copper conductors are available for use with resistance thermometers.
The quick-wire connectors are fully DIN specification compliant for compatibility with other miniature connectors from Labfacility and from other manufacturers.
They are available from stock, in quantity.
