Description

Detailed Overview

The K-Type Male Thermocouple Connector is a high-quality plug designed to terminate a K-Type thermocouple cable, enabling quick, reliable, and standardized connection to temperature measuring equipment. Featuring the standard round pin configuration, this connector ensures accurate transmission of the temperature-dependent millivolt signal (Supplier: Incertech).


Quick-Connect Terminal for Reliable Temperature Signal


This male plug is crucial for creating a robust cold junction and simplifying the setup and breakdown of industrial heat treatment sites. Its standard K-Type color coding and specialized internal compensating alloy composition prevent miswiring and maintain the integrity of the thermal signal, which is necessary for precise control and documentation of welding preheat and Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) cycles.


Features

  • Type K Standard: Ensures compatibility with K-Type instrumentation.
  • Male Plug Design: Connects to female sockets on instruments and cables.
  • Quick Connection: Round pin design for fast and easy connection.
  • High Reliability: Minimizes signal errors at the connection point.
  • Polarized: Designed to prevent incorrect polarity hookup.

Primary Use

Terminating K-Type thermocouple wire runs for connection to temperature controllers, recorders, data loggers, and extension cables in industrial environments.

FAQ

Why is the round pin design used?

The round pin standard is often preferred in heavy industry for its mechanical robustness and larger contact surface area compared to flat pins, ensuring a more stable electrical connection under movement and vibration.

Is this connector weatherproof?

While the housing is durable, this connector is not inherently rated for waterproofing. For outdoor or wet environments, a protective enclosure or specialized weatherproof boots should be used over the connection.

How does this connector help with cold junction compensation?

The metallic pins are made of the correct compensating alloys. When the plug is inserted, the instrument’s circuit measures the temperature at this interface point to electronically compensate for the difference between the actual connection temperature and the thermocouple’s calibration reference temperature.
