K to mini K Type Thermocouple lines

K-to-Mini-K Thermocouple Lines – Engineered for Precision, Built for Compatibility

The K-to-Mini-K Thermocouple Lines from N.B. Oler are designed to provide reliable, accurate temperature measurement in systems requiring compact, high-performance connections. These lines connect standard type-K thermocouple elements to mini-K connectors, combining full thermocouple accuracy with flexible installation in tight or compact spaces. Constructed with thermocouple-grade materials, the wire and connectors deliver stability, durability, and excellent thermal signal integrity—even under frequent use. Whether used in extraction systems, process control, or heating equipment, these lines give operators precise data and dependable performance.

Key Features

1. Type K Calibration
Uses Chromel-Alumel wire to maintain the wide temperature range, sensitivity, and robustness of a standard type-K thermocouple.

2. Mini-K Connector Compatibility
Designed to terminate into miniature two-pin flat (mini) type-K plugs or jacks, consistent with ANSI/IEC standards.

3. Durable Insulation Options
The cable is available with insulation suited to high temperatures and industrial use, helping preserve signal quality.

4. Fast Response
Thin conductors and optimized construction enable quick thermal response — critical for dynamic systems.

5. Flexible Lengths
Offered in multiple standard lengths to suit different system layouts and installation requirements.

6. Color-Coded Polarity
The positive (Chromel) and negative (Alumel) lead wires use correct thermocouple color codes for error-free installation.
