Thermocouple
Extension cable
Applications
Tyco Electronics manufactures a broad range of Raychem
thermocouple extension cables in four thermoelement
combinations. Each provides accurate transmission of
electromotive force (EMF) from a thermocouple
element lead wire of the same conductor material to a
thermometer, also known as a pyrometer.
All four types of thermocouple extension cables use
19-strand conductors and are available in twisted pair,
jacketed twisted pair, and shielded and jacketed
twisted pair configurations. A range of cables is
available from 16 AWG to 24 AWG.
Wires and cables are insulated and jacketed with
radiation-crosslinked ETFE, which has a continuous
operating temperature of –65°C to 200°C. This
material, which is fully specified in Raychem SPEC 55,
has excellent physical properties and is highly resistant
to a wide range of chemicals.
Operating temperature range
-65°C to 200°C
Features and benefits
19-strand conductor for flexibility.

Color-Coding
Thermocouple extension cables are available with the
wires color-coded in accordance with four standards:
MIL-STD-687, ANSI-MC-96.1, British Standard Code
BS 1843, and Japanese JISC-C-1602.
Special cables
Thermocouple extension cables are also available in
solid-conductor and seven-strand-conductor
configurations. They come in a variety of thermoelement
combinations, gauges, insulations, and multiple-pair
designs, and they are available for outer space
applications. Contact Tyco Electronics for details.
