TEMPCO Thermocouple Wire

Ideal for manufacturing a thermocouple assembly or extending a thermocouple signal from an instrument or a probe to a measuring instrument, particularly over long distances. Work accurately over a specified temperature range

What is the colour coding system in Tempco thermocouple wires?

• The ANSI Type J single conductor construction thermocouple wires are available in two colours - the negative JN wires in red and the positive JP wires in white.
• The ANSI Type K Duplex insulated thermocouple wires feature an overall brown-coloured body with the inner colours yellow and red for positive and negative configurations, respectively.
• The ANSI Type JX thermocouple extension wires feature an overall black-coloured body with the inner colours white and red for positive and negative configurations, respectively.
• The ANSI Type KX Duplex construction insulated thermocouple extension wires have an overall yellow-coloured body with the inner colours yellow and red for positive and negative configurations, respectively.

What is the difference between stranded and solid wire types?

Stranded wires are thin, bundled wires that are insulated and compressed with non-conductive materials, allowing them to easily fit (by bending or twisting) in cramped spaces or intricate geometries. Solid wires are heavier & thicker than stranded ones and are used where high currents are required. These units are resistant to extreme environmental conditions, frequent movement and weather.

What is the wire size of these thermocouple wires?

They have wire sizes ranging up to 24 AWG.
