Item# (PN): HGST Shipping and Payment

Type K and E are available with solid pins, other types of plugs are only available with hollow pins.

The new HGST low noise connectors are designed to provide easy connection of ground wires to probes and extension wires. The drain wire of a 20 AWG twisted shield cable or the shield of the overbraided wire is crimped and held in place by the HGST’s internal hardware. The HGST has excellent thermal and electrical characteristics to assure high accuracy. Each connector includes an HCP-L and HCP-HGST write-on window. Ground straps GS-GST may be ordered separately to provide additional mechanical rigidity and strengthen the mechanical bond between the connectors. Ground straps also maintain the electrical contact through the connector, protecting against electrical noise errors. Male connectors with a solid pin construction for extra durability.

The connectors are also designed for use with Pt100 and thermistors, select uncompensated type U.

How is Temperature Measured?

Temperature can be measured via a diverse array of sensors. All of them infer temperature by sensing some change in a physical characteristic. Six types with which the engineer is likely to come into contact are: thermocouples, resistive temperature devices (RTDs Pt100 and thermistors), infrared radiators, bimetallic devices, liquid expansion devices, and change-of-state devices.
