Thermocouple Connectors


Flat-Pin Mini Male Connector	Flat-Pin Mini Female Connector	Round-Pin Male Connector	Round-Pin Female Connector

Simplify connecting your thermocouple to thermometers and control panels—these connectors give your thermocouple a plug-in connection. To attach them to your thermocouple, first remove the panel on these connectors to expose the terminals. Then insert your thermocouple wire leads, tighten the terminals, and reattach the panel.

Panel-Mount Thermocouple Connector Strips

Create an easy way to plug in multiple thermocouples—these connector strips mount directly into your control panel. With at least two connections on each strip, you can plug in multiple thermocouples to monitor temperature at different points in your process. Each socket is numbered to help identify thermocouples and keep your wires organized. Choose a connector strip with a thermocouple type that matches the type of thermocouple you’re plugging in. You should also make sure the equipment you’re connecting it to is also compatible with the same thermocouple type.

Flat-Pin Mini Thermocouple Connector Connection—Connection strips for flat-pin mini thermocouple connectors install from the rear of your panel. They snap into place with spring clips.

Round-Pin Thermocouple Connector Connection—Connection strips for round-pin thermocouple connectors install from the front of your panel. Just tighten the screws on the front of the strip and T-nuts will hold it in place against your panel.

Mounting Frames—Add a mounting frame (sold separately) if your panel opening is larger than the cutout dimensions. When using a mounting frame, install your connection strip into the frame before attaching the entire assembly to your panel opening. Use the frame's mounting holes to secure your fasteners.

Modular DIN-Rail Mount Terminal Blocks

Mix and match these terminal blocks to get the exact number of circuits you need in a single setup. Add blocks for thermocouples, fuses, and grounding wire as needed. The blocks clip side by side onto DIN rail in control panels, creating tidy rows of circuits that you can identify and access on the spot.

The screw-clamp terminals flatten your wire so it stays put when vibrated or pulled. If you need to change wiring frequently without adjusting a screw, consider a quick-connect terminal block with spring-clamp or lever-clamp terminals.

Thermocouple Terminal Blocks with Screw-Clamp Terminals

Image of Product. Front orientation. Terminal Blocks. Modular DIN-Rail Mount Terminal Blocks, Thermocouple Terminal Blocks with Screw-Clamp Terminals.

Run your thermocouple wire into these blocks so no signal is lost or destroyed. The metal in the terminals is compatible with multiple thermocouple wire types.

Covers—Snap onto the exposed side of a terminal block to prevent accidental contact with a live wire.

End Stops—Mount at the end of a group of terminal blocks so they don't slide when vibrated or bumped.

Terminal Blocks for Thermocouples

Unlike other terminal blocks, these blocks connect to thermocouple wire without distorting or destroying the signal. The metal in each terminal matches the metal of a specific thermocouple wire type. The ends of the blocks are labeled positive or negative so you know which end of the wire to attach.

Also known as a barrier strip, this type of terminal block has dividers to separate live wires and keep your setup tidy. Mount the blocks directly onto control panels, enclosures, and equipment. The screw-clamp terminals flatten your wire so it stays put when vibrated or pulled.

Spade Terminal Assortments for Thermocouples

Made from the same material as thermocouples, these terminals ensure solid thermocouple signals and precise readings. To install, squeeze the barrel evenly and securely onto the wire with a crimping tool, slide the terminal under the screw head, and tighten.

Noninsulated—The basic, economical option when short circuits from nearby wiring aren't a concern.
