RS PRO Type K Thermocouple Wire, 5m, Glass Fibre Insulation, +350°C Max, 7/0.2mm

IEC Glassfibre Flat Pair with Stainless Steel Overbraid Thermocouple Cable 5m

Introducing the range of RS PRO Glassfibre Insulated Thermocouple Cables, ideal for use as general-purpose extension wire in high-temperature environments. The cable has conductors laid flat, are glassfibre insulated with glassfibre overall and silicone varnished throughout which offers protection and insulation of the wires. This type of wire also has a stainless steel overbraid and therefore has a high reliability, especially when being used for a long period of time in challenging environments. The cables have a tolerance class of 2 making this type of cable have a good temperature resistance but not suitable where fluids are present. The thermocouple cables can be used in a wide range of temperatures from –60°C to 350°C (with short periods up too 400).

Features and Benefits

• This RS PRO glassfibre insulated thermocouple 5m cable is suitable for use as an extension cable in high-temperature environments
• The extension cable has an excellent temperature range, from –60°C up to +350°C (short periods up to 400), meaning it can perform in both extremely low and high-temperature environments making it incredibly versatile
• Made with glassfibre insulation ensures that it is able to deal with hotspots of up to 400 for short periods of time that could damage PVC or PFA
• Tolerance class of 2
• This cable is available in 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 metre lengths
• Good temperature resistance but not suitable where liquids are present
• Stainless steel overbraid gives mechanical strength and durability
• This type of cable is available in type K and J

Applications

Thermocouple extension wires or cabling is an ideal accessory when working with thermocouple installation. This type of cable can add additional flexibility and versatility to an existing thermocouple and are offered in a wide range of constructions from simple flat laid pairs to screened cables to suit any combination and application they are needed for. Thermocouple extension cables can often be found in:

Research and development
Thermostats in homes and offices
Manufacturing, engineering and production environments
