Thermocouple Connectors Selection Guide

International Thermocouple Colour Codes: This section details the international colour codes for thermocouple connectors, emphasizing the use of true thermocouple alloys for accuracy, except for Types R, S, and B which use compensating alloys. Types include J, K, T, E, N, R/S, B, and Cu, with specific materials for positive and negative pins.

Thermocouple Connectors Overview: Thermocouple connectors are designed for harsh environments, resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage, and ensure error-free, fast, and reliable sensor interchange. They are colour-coded, polarised, and compatible with other brands, supporting temperatures up to 220°C with various mounting options.

Miniature Thermocouple Connectors: Detailed information is provided on miniature connectors, including plugs and sockets for IEC, ANSI, and JIS standards, with specific contact materials, colour codes, and stock numbers.

Standard Thermocouple Connectors: Similar to miniature connectors, standard connectors are described with details on plugs and sockets for different standards, including quick-wire options and fascia sockets, with specifications on contact materials, colour codes, and stock numbers.

Key Features: The connectors are noted for their rugged construction, compatibility with other brands, and availability in configurations such as in-line, panel mounting, and PCB mounting. They are cost-effective and come with a wide range of accessories.

Overview: The document provides specifications for RS PRO Sensors thermocouple connectors, including fascia sockets, panel mounts, duplex plugs, and sockets, covering IEC, ANSI, and JIS standards, with information on accessories and color codes for extension and compensating wires.

Specifications:

Fascia Sockets: Available in IEC, ANSI, and JIS standards with contact materials like Nickel Chromium, Iron, Copper, and Nickel Alloy, each with a specific stock number.
Panel Mounts: Standard and quick-wire panel mounts with stainless steel brackets, categorized under IEC, ANSI, and JIS standards with specific contact materials and stock numbers.
Duplex Plugs and Sockets: Offered in IEC, ANSI, and JIS standards with various contact materials, each associated with a unique stock number.

Accessories:

Includes miniature and standard fascia sockets panels, strain relief grommets, and cable clamps, available in configurations such as 2-way, 4-way, and 6-way with specific stock numbers.

Color Codes:

Thermocouple extension and compensating wires have specific color codes according to British, American, German, and IEC standards, listing conductor types and corresponding cable codes.
Connector body colors align with thermocouple types (J, K, T, E, N, R/S, B, Cu) across IEC, ANSI, and JIS standards.

Recommendations:

For optimal accuracy, all connectors use true thermocouple alloys, except for types R, S, and B, which use compensating alloys.
