Benefit |
1.
Jab-in® terminals:
Wire
is sandwiched between contacts of alloy material without damage. |
Even
the very fine wires (0.003") of 0.020" diameter sheathed thermocouples
can be installed quickly and reliably without special tools
or set-ups. Jab-in® terminals require only
1/4" of insulation to be removed. Looped wire ends are eliminated. |
2.
Built-in Shield wire Connection:
Shield
circuit is connected to 3rd pole of connector via ground link. |
The
need for a special shield wire to connect the sheath or the
extension wire is eliminated resulting in a dependable, time-saving
installation. |
3.
Removeable Shield wire Connection:
Built-in
shield wire-connection can be eliminated when not required. |
After
the built-in shield link is removed the shield from the extension
wire or a 3-wire RTD can be easily and quickly installed using
the Jab-in® terminal which accepts up to 24
gauge (0.020") wire. |
4.
Offset Hex Entrance:
Accepts
braze-on or crimp-on hex sheath adapters, external sheath
adaptors, and wire clamps. |
The
fine wires of the small diameter sheathed thermocouples are
not strained. Technicians work with same-length wires for
ease of installation. |
5.
Molded Body:
Connector
body and cap are molded of thermoset, glass-reinforced compounds
that are color coded. |
Thermoset
molded connectors will withstand severe temperature environments
without melting or deforming. Color codes allow easy thermocouple
type identification which helps prevent mis-applications of
connectors. |
6.
Polarized Pins and Double-Wipe Inserts:
Connectors
are virtually impossible to mismate. Inserts are spring loaded
with funnel type entrances. |
Elimination
of mismated connectors saves time in trouble-shooting instrumentation.
Tight grip assures low signal loss. The entrance provides
easy mating. |
7.
Mounting Hole:
Through
hole provides clearance for #3 screw. |
Surface
mounting and stacking, if required can be made without special
fixtures or secondary operations to the connector. |
