Type J Thermocouple, 1/4in OD, 24in Probe, 36in Teflon Leads

Type J Thermocouple - 1/4" OD, 24" Probe, 36" Teflon Leads

Product Overview

This Type J Thermocouple is an essential and versatile tool for precise temperature measurement across a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Engineered for reliability, it accurately converts heat into a stable electrical signal, making it an ideal input for process controllers, recorders, and data loggers. This model features a durable 24-inch probe with a 1/4-inch outer diameter and 36-inch Teflon-coated lead wires for enhanced protection and flexibility.

How Thermocouples Work

Thermocouples operate on the Seebeck effect. They consist of two different types of metal wires joined together at one end, known as the "hot" or measuring junction. When this junction is exposed to heat, a temperature gradient is created, which generates a small thermoelectric voltage (Electromotive Force or EMF). This voltage is measured at the opposite "cold" or reference end and is directly proportional to the temperature. This allows for a reliable and repeatable temperature reading.

Key Features and Specifications

• Thermocouple Type: Type J (Iron-Constantan) - Known for its high sensitivity and cost-effectiveness, making it ideal for monitoring temperatures in non-oxidizing environments.
• Junction: Ungrounded Junction - The thermocouple junction is electrically isolated from the outer metal sheath, which reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) or "noise" from other electrical equipment, ensuring a more stable and accurate reading.
• Probe Temperature Range: 0°C to 760°C (32°F to 1400°F)
• Probe Dimensions: 24 inches long with a 1/4 inch outer diameter.
• Lead Wire: 36-inch long Teflon® insulated lead wire, providing excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion.
• Maximum Ambient Temperature for Wire: 204°C (400°F) Continuous
• Termination: 2-inch stripped ends for easy and secure connection to your instruments.
• Transition: Standard transition with a spring strain relief to protect the lead wire connection from stress and bending.
• Wire Color Code: Red/White (in accordance with ANSI standards).
