An electrical connector, for use in conjunction with or forming part of, a thermocouple probe has a body of electrically Insulating material, preferably formed by moulding, a plurality of apertured blocks of ferrite material within the body, and a corresponding plurality of elongate metallic conductors within the body and positioned through and projecting from a respective block of ferrite material. In a preferred form, the metallic conductors are made of metals of different alloy designation, as appropriate to the metal alloys used in the associated thermocouple probe. Further, the metallic conductors are advantageously made of different cross-sectional dimensions and/or different cross-sectional shape, such that the connector may be mated with a corresponding connector in only one manner of plug and socket. A method for making such an electrical connector includes steps of positioning each conductor through a respective block of ferrite material to form a respective assembly, and forming a body of electrically insulating material about the assemblies by moulding.
An electrical connector, for a thermocouple, comprising:
An electrical connector, in combination with a thermoelectric device, said connector comprising a body of electrically insulating material, a plurality of elongate metallic conductors each of a different metal and of a different diameter carried by said body, and a respective block of ferrite material carried by said body for each said conductor, each conductor projecting through and projecting from its respective block of ferrite material.
The method of making an electrical connector, for a thermoelectric device, which comprises:
