Abstract
A thermocouple connector has a first member and a second member which couples to the first member. The first member carries two first terminals for electrically joining to the respective ends of a pair of thermocouple wires. The second member carries two corresponding second terminals for electrically joining to the respective ends of a pair of thermocouple extension wires. Each first terminal contacts a respective second terminal when the first and second members are coupled.
Claims15
A thermocouple connector comprising:
- a first member;
- and
- a second member which couples to the first member, the first member carrying two first terminals for electrically joining to the respective ends of a pair of thermocouple wires and the second member carrying two corresponding second terminals for electrically joining to the respective ends of a pair of thermocouple extension wires, each first terminal contacting a respective second terminal when the first and second members are coupled, wherein
- one of the first and second members is formed of a thermally conducting material having a thermal conductivity of at least 75 W/mK, wherein the other of the first and second members is formed of a thermally insulating material having a thermal conductivity of at most 20 W/mK.
