Thermocouple Connectors
Thermocouple connectors are used to link thermocouple sensors to extension or compensating cables. They have pins that only fit in one way to prevent incorrect connections, and the connector is marked to show the correct polarity. These connectors are color-coded according to standards like ANSI or IEC.

Tempsens manufactures Thermocouple connectors for thermocouple types J, K, N, T, E, R/S and B. Connectors are available in both standard and miniature designs.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions related to Thermocouple Connectors.
Following are the two types of termination style:
- Metallic Plugs and Socket Connections
- Standard & Miniature Thermocouple Connectors
The link between the thermoelectric wires of the thermocouple and those of the extension cable is made by means of non – compensated male and female connectors. The metallic body and casing of these connectors ensure the screening continuity as well as good temperature.
Standard & Miniature connectors are ideal for connecting thermocouple sensors and extension or compensating cable to each other. The pins are polarized to avoid an incorrect connection and the connector body is additionally marked for polarity. These connectors have color coding according to special standard like: ANSI, IEC etc.
