Thermocouple Terminal Blocks
Connect thermocouple wires without soldering or splicing. The terminals on these terminal blocks are made from same materials as thermocouples to ensure no signal is lost. Also known as barrier strips, they shield connections from each other to keep them neat and minimize the chance of short circuits. Choose a terminal block that matches your thermocouple type. You should also make sure the equipment you’re connecting it to is also compatible with the same thermocouple type.
For easy wiring, each end is labeled positive or negative. Mount these terminal blocks to a panel or machine using the mounting holes.

Thermocouple Spade Terminals
Easily connect thermocouple wire to screw terminals without completely removing the screw. The open end of these spade terminals allows you to loosen the screw and slide them under the screw’s head. They’re made from the same materials as thermocouples to make sure no signal is lost. You'll need to use two terminals per thermocouple, one for each wire. Make sure to match the material of each individual thermocouple wire to the material of the terminal.
Use a crimper (required but not included) to install your wire in the spade terminal.
