Incertech Type-K Panel Mounted Thermocouple Socket

Panel-mounted Type K thermocouple socket allows for quick, easy, and secure connection of thermocouple plugs to control and recording instruments. Supplier: Incertech

Description

Detailed Overview

This Type K Panel Mounted Thermocouple Socket is a crucial interface component designed to be fixed directly into a control panel or instrument enclosure. It provides a secure, easy-access receptacle for connecting K-Type thermocouple probes and extension leads, ensuring reliable transmission of the temperature signal to the control system (Supplier: Incertech).


Fixed and Secure Interface for K-Type Thermocouples


Used widely in heat treatment consoles, recorders, and data acquisition units, the panel-mounted socket offers a standardized, durable termination point. Its use eliminates the need for direct wire clamping, speeding up setup time and reducing the risk of signal degradation from poor contact. The socket is manufactured with compensating alloys that match the K-Type thermocouple, preserving the accuracy of the thermal millivolt signal.


Features

  • Thermocouple Type: K-Type (Standard).
  • Mounting: Designed for secure, fixed panel mounting.
  • Easy Connection: Provides a quick and secure female receptacle.
  • High Accuracy: Compensating material maintains signal integrity across the junction.
  • Durability: Robust construction for repeated plugging/unplugging cycles.

Primary Use

Providing a fixed, external connection point for K-Type thermocouples on heat treatment control units, temperature recorders, and field junction boxes.

FAQ

How is the socket secured to the panel?

The socket typically includes mounting hardware (e.g., screws or retaining clips) that secure it through a pre-cut opening in the instrument panel, providing a flush external connection point.

What are the terminal requirements for the internal wiring?

The internal terminals must be wired using the correct polarity of K-Type thermocouple or compensating extension cable to maintain the accuracy of the signal transmission into the instrument.

Is this component resistant to the temperatures of the hot zone?

No, this socket is designed to be housed in the cold zone (the instrument or control panel) and is not rated for exposure to the high temperatures of the workpiece being treated.
