What Is a Thermocouple Connector?
Thermocouple connectors are specialized devices used to connect compensation leads and measuring instruments in temperature measurement and management with thermocouples. Thermocouples, which use the Seebeck effect, are ideal for high-temperature environments like industrial furnaces due to their wide temperature range and responsiveness.
While thermocouples are cost-effective and responsive, they are best suited for temperature management involving reference value differences. The choice of thermocouple connector and compensation lead metal type is crucial, as they must be compatible and use the same metal to ensure accuracy.
