Description
The K-Type Thermocouple with Mini Connector is a mineral insulated (MI) temperature sensor designed for fast, accurate, and reliable temperature measurement in industrial, laboratory, and research applications. Manufactured with Chromel-Alumel (K-Type) conductors, a 1.5 mm diameter SS310 sheath, and compacted magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation, the sensor provides excellent heat transfer, electrical insulation, and mechanical durability. The compact probe diameter minimizes thermal mass, allowing the thermocouple to respond rapidly to changing temperatures, making it suitable for applications where fast response is critical.
Key Features
-
Ultra-Fast Thermal Response Compact 1.5 mm probe sheath reduces heat capacity, enabling rapid time-constant tracking of dynamic temperature changes.
-
Ungrounded Noise-Isolated Junction Thermocouple tip is fully isolated from the sheath by compacted $text{MgO}$ powder, preventing ground loop noise and stray $text{EMF}$ interference.
-
Bendable SS310 Sheath Stainless Steel 310 sheath is fully malleable and can be custom-bent in the field (minimum bend radius: $3timestext{ probe diameter}$) to navigate complex machinery layouts.
-
Foolproof Plug-and-Play Termination Features a polarized miniature Omega-style connector for quick installation, swapouts, and maintenance without manual terminal re-wiring.
-
Wide 0°C to 800°C Operating Span Durable SS310 sheath handles continuous high-temperature exposure up to 800°C in oxidising or inert industrial atmospheres.
Applications
-
R&D Thermal Profiling & Validation Real-time thermal mapping inside laboratory ovens, climate chambers, and heat-treatment validation rigs.
-
Furnace & Kiln Hot-Spot Testing Rapidly detecting localized temperature spikes and transient thermal gradients across industrial heating zones.
-
Exhaust & Fluid Temperature Monitoring High-speed measurement in gas streams, liquids, and pipe manifolds where slow sensors lag behind control loop demands.
-
Modular Equipment & Test Benches Systems requiring frequent sensor disconnection, recalibration, or fast plug-and-play swaps.
