Thermocouple Terminal Blocks Type K, J, E, T, R/S
Type J, K, T, E, R/S Terminal Blocks. 10.4 mm Wide with Dual Wire Thermocouple -Grade Alloys. Screw Type Terminal Block DIN Connectors. Maintenance-Free Connections. Global Acceptance
UL Rated and CE Approved. Large Surface Area for Marking. More
Item# (PN): XBTK Shipping and Payment
Thermocouple terminal blocks are offered in Type K, J, T, E and R/S. The terminal block contacts are made with thermocouple-grade calibration alloys. The terminal blocks come in a Gray color but white blank marker strips are available for identification (XBMZB10).
Large surface area for marking
All XB Series terminal blocks have generously sized surface areas for labeling. This allows for clearly labeled wiring which results in reduced start-up time and simplifies activities such as testing and maintenance. There are provisions for marking individual terminal blocks and end stops, strips of terminal blocks, and large groups of terminal blocks.
Complete specifications can be found in the spec sheet (PDF), see the "Download" section.
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)...
