NM0325250
The EHS Male Type “K” T/C Plug is a crucial component for creating reliable and quick connections with Type K thermocouples. This plug is designed to easily interface with female Type K thermocouple connectors or jacks, allowing for rapid connection and disconnection of temperature sensing probes and instrumentation.
Type K thermocouples are a widely used temperature sensor known for their broad temperature range (-200°C to +1260°C or -328°F to +2300°F), good linearity, and robust performance. The Male Type “K” T/C Plug is specifically constructed with materials that are compatible with the Chromel (+) and Alumel (-) alloys that comprise Type K thermocouples. This ensures accurate temperature readings by maintaining the thermoelectric properties of the connection.
The body of the plug is typically color-coded yellow according to industry standards, making it easily identifiable as a Type K connector. It features two polarized pins to ensure correct polarity when mating with a female connector, preventing potential errors in temperature measurement.
