Tap Into Advanced Connectivity!
Audit your temperature signals anytime, anywhere without interrupting the signal.

The new patented DRTB-2 Series thermocouple terminal blocks are manufactured with thermocouple-grade alloys to guarantee accurate readings. A built-in SMP-compatible female receptacle accepts a miniature thermocouple connector. The female connector allows the user to connect to a handheld meter for applications such as data collection, quality assurance compliance, capability studies and trouble shooting installation or repairs.

The plastic housing is made from gray polyamide 6.6 thermoplastic resin with aUL 94 V0 rating for 85°C. These thermocouple terminal blocks are fully enclosed and require no end plates. The screws are stainless steel and captive and the wire clamps are made of tin plated brass. Together they provide an excellent vibration, maintenance free and corrosion resistant connection.

DRTB-2 terminal blocks mount on standard 35 mm DIN rails or 32 mm G-type rails, and are identified with calibration type and positive (+) and negative (-) connections. Wire entry is funneled to allow quick wire insertion even with stranded wire.

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.

Thermocouple Wire / How it Works?

The thermocouple wire or cable is used to manufacture thermocouple probes in order to sense temperature using the point of cold junction compensation (cjc end). On the other side, as it has been explain in this other article, a thermocouple is a sensor for measuring temperature, that consists of two dissimilar metals that are joined together at the sensing end.

Different thermocouple types (e.g. J or K type thermocouple wire) use different mixtures of metals in the cable. At the cjc end, the millivolt value provided by the thermocouple represents the difference in temperature of the sensing end as compared to the cjc end (also called the reference end)...
