High Temperature High Performance Low Noise Thermocouple Connectors

Standard Size Optional Ferrite Cores Available for EMI Protection Temperature Rating: Without Ferrite Cores: 260°C (500°F) With Ferrite Cores: 120°C (248°F) Environmentally Friendly Cadmium-Free Liquid Crystal Polymer Material Connector Ground Protects Against Electrical Noise Errors Superior Mechanical Connection Prevents Signal Loss Due to Vibration or Wire Movement Write-On Area for Easy Identification Ferrite Core Available for Additional EMI Protection Both Male and Female Connectors Ferrite Core Impedance (±20%) 35 ohms @ 25 mHz 70 ohms @ 100 mHz

For additional EMI protection Twisted and Shield wire is suggested for use with the Low Noise Thermocouple Connectors. Click photo for details and ordering information.

The new HGST low noise connectors are designed to provide easy connection of ground wires to the OMEGA probes and extension wire. The drain wire of a 20 AWG twisted shield cable or the shield of the overbraided wire is crimped and held in place by the HGST's internal hardware. The HGST has excellent thermal and electrical characteristics to assure high accuracy. Each connector includes an HCP-L and HCP-GST write-on insert. Ground straps may be ordered separately to provide additional mechanical rigidity and strengthen the mechanical connection between the connectors. Ground straps also maintain the electrical connection through the connector, protecting against electrical noise errors. The optional ferrite core helps provide additional immunity against outside electrical noise.

* To order, specify '-MF' for connector pair, '-M' for male connector only, or '-F' for female connector only.
To order ferrite core, add suffix '-FT' to model number and add $1.40 per connector ($2.80 per pair) to price.
Ordering Example: HGST-K-MF-FT, connector pair type K, thermocouple, with integral ferrite core, $13 + 2.80 = $15.80.
†J,K,T,E,R, and S are ANSI designations. OMEGALLOY is generically known as Nicrosil-Nisil.
Type U (uncompensated) connectors are used with type B thermocouples (Pt/6%Rh-Pt/30%Rh).
