Omega sensors replace traditional in-line plastic connectors for cold-end termination
Omega Engineering
M12 Thermocouple and Pt100 sensors
Omega’s M12 Thermocouple and Pt100 sensors have been designed to replace traditional in-line plastic connectors or conventional terminal-head arrangements for cold-end termination.
Having a vibration-resistant construction, low probe mass and an ingress-protection rating of IP67, the sensors are suitable for applications, including industrial, hygienic, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and research laboratories where process conditions such as outdoor, wet, high-humidity, wash-down situations and other challenging environments exist.
Termination is achieved through a polarised M12 connector with a hand-tightened knurled nut completely eliminating wiring errors and, as no tools are required, downtime for a sensor change is significantly reduced, according to the company.
