Thermocouple Connectors and Panels
Thermocouple connectors provide the connection between a temperature sensor, extension cable and measuring instrument. The appropriate version depends on the thermocouple type, connector size, ambient temperature, mechanical conditions and the way the connection is installed in a panel or system.
TE Instrumentation supplies standard and miniature connectors together with connector panels for industrial temperature measurement. For replacement work, send a photograph, dimensions and the thermocouple type where possible. We can then review the format and colour coding required for the existing measurement chain.
Connectors and panels
- Standard thermocouple connectors for installations that use the larger connector format.
- Miniature thermocouple connectors for compact connections and portable equipment.
- Standard connector panels for an organised transition between field wiring and measuring equipment.
- Miniature connector panels where several compact measuring circuits terminate together.
What affects connector selection?
- Thermocouple type and the colour code used in the installation.
- Standard or miniature format and the corresponding pin arrangement.
- Ambient and connection temperature.
- Connector body material and mechanical conditions.
- Number of circuits, panel layout and identification requirements.
- Cable diameter, strain relief and available installation space.
A connector must suit the complete temperature-measurement chain. Also review our thermocouple wire and cable and industrial temperature sensors.
Request technical selection support
Send the thermocouple type, a photograph or part number, the temperature conditions and the required panel arrangement. We will help identify the appropriate connector or panel route.
