Thermocouple Plugs and Sockets

Thermocouple plugs and sockets are connectors made specifically for thermocouple types such as J and K, which connect a thermocouple probe or compensating cable detachably to each other or to a panel. They are used for quick replacement of probes on molds, ovens and machines during maintenance, for attaching a probe to a portable measuring instrument and for creating a measuring socket on the panel surface. This category includes male plugs, female sockets and panel-type female sockets from the Isıso CK and TC series; in the product data, type K (NiCr-Ni) connectors have a yellow body and type J (Fe-Const) connectors have a black or blue body. Select the connector first by thermocouple type, then by series and by whether it is male, female or panel type; verify from the product page that the plug and socket are from a matching series. A general-purpose plug and socket with copper contacts is not a substitute for a thermocouple connector; it creates a junction of a different metal in the line and, if there is a temperature difference at the junction, causes a measurement error.

How to choose Thermocouple Plugs and Sockets

Thermocouple plugs and sockets are connectors made specifically for thermocouple types such as J and K, which connect a thermocouple probe or compensating cable detachably to each other or to a panel. They are used for quick replacement of probes on molds, ovens and machines during maintenance, for attaching a probe to a portable measuring instrument and for creating a measuring socket on the panel surface.

  • Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
  • Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
  • Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
