Quick Connect Thermocouples & RTDs

Quick Connect Thermocouples & RTDs are sensors where the connectors are directly mounted to the stem length in order to (as the name implies) quickly connect and disconnect sensors from leadwire extensions running to a transmitter, controller, DCS, PLC or other control system. Quick connect thermocouples and RTDs are an excellent choice any time a NIST traceable certified calibration compliant to AMS 2750 is required or desired as these probes are easily calibrated or, in the case of thermocouples, constructed from lot calibrated materials.

All manner of connectors are available. Considerations to take into account when specifying a connector are compatibility with the environment (ex: temperature, moisture, vibration) as well as ease of use.

For thermocouples, JMS recommends that connectors used be fully compensated. Full compensation requires that the connector terminals be comprised of materials of construction matching the thermocouple wires internal to the probe.
