OMEGA™ sturdy multi-pin connectors provide an efficient means of joining multiwire thermocouple cables. They can be used with multiple OMEGA extension stranded wire for rapid, convenient connections and for dismantling an apparatus without handling individual sensors. When used with MTC Series pins, the connector design utilizes a combination of resilient and rigid dielectric insulators to eliminate internal air voids and prevent the passage of air and moisture into or through the connector. Connectors can withstand ambient temperatures to 200°C (392°F), contributing to an extended connector life.
Important Notes
1. MS Standard Assembly Tools are required to crimp and assemble connectors properly. Order with first purchase.
2. Match pins and sockets to thermocouple alloys–Example: A 12-cavity connector carries 6 thermocouple circuits (pairs) requiring: 6 positive alloy pins or sockets and 6 negative alloy pins or sockets per body.
3. Order bodies in mating pairs. Style MC mates with both style FF and style FC.
4. Backshell cable clamps are recommended with each cord style connector.
MTC pins (with solid core)
HPC pins (with hollow core)

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.
