TE Wire & Cable’s economical, ready to use, patented AUTOCLAVE Thermocouple has unique design characteristics which reduce vacuum leakage during use. The key to the effectiveness of the TE Wire & Cable encapsulated AUTOCLAVE Thermocouple is its unique, proprietary, single extrusion thermocouple wire with molded-on connector construction, which virtually eliminates leakage. The construction consists of special grade limits of error thermocouple wire with a welded junction and permanently molded, high temperature standard size connector (miniature molded connectors are available). AUTOCLAVE Thermocouples are available in a wide variety of lengths, conductor sizes and insulation materials. Calibration Type J, K, T and E thermocouples are available. Standard insulation materials, including FEP, PFA, polyimide tape, and B-Fiber/Glass (synthetic polyamide fiber blend with a fiberglass outer jacket), provide extensive operating temperature ranges to fit a wide variety of applications. Other insulations with temperature ratings up to 2200°F (1204°C) are available (molded connector is limited to lower rated operating temperature). Every unit is tested for circuit integrity and correct polarity. In addition, the TE Wire & Cable AUTOCLAVE Thermocouple meets MIL-STD-105 Sampling Procedure for Inspection and MIL-I-45208A Inspection System Requirements.

Thermocouple material is normally supplied to meet tolerances above 0C (32F). If material is required to meet
tolerances below 0C (32F), the purchase order must so state. Special selection of material is required.
Suggested initial calibration tolerance. Requirements should be discussed between purchaser and supplier.
