Connector Temperature Rating: up to 125°C (257°F).
Weldable Components: withstand up to 450°C (842°F).
Maximum Bakeout Temperature: Conflat CF flanges up to 450°C (842°F); Kwik-Flange™ up to 150°C (302°F).
Thermocouple Compatibility: TC types R, S, T are standard.
Connector Type: Screw-Type (robust, industry-standard fastening).

Industry Applications

Screw Type Thermocouple Connectors are widely used for temperature sensing and monitoring in environments where precision and durability are critical. Applications include vacuum furnaces, semiconductor manufacturing, thin-film deposition, metallurgy, plasma processing, cryogenic systems, and research laboratories. With their robust screw-type design, these connectors provide secure fastening, stable electrical contact, and high reliability for both industrial and scientific use.
