Part No: #58005

OVERVIEW

This K type Thermocouple is custom made to MoTeC's specification supplied with a compression fitting and a heat resistant Miniature connector.

K-type thermocouples come in either an exposed tip (# 58005) or an enclosed tip (# 58009). Exposed tip is faster in measuring change in temperature but is more susceptible to breakage from vibration or shock waves. Enclosed tip thermocouples are more reliable but deliver a slower update rate of between three to eight times per second.

Commonly used to measure:

Exhaust gas temperature
Brake pad temperature
Charge air temperature

Thermocouples require cold junction calibration to accurately determine the output voltage.

Use the MoTeC TCA Thermocouple Amplifier PN #58008 or the E888 PN #14007 Expander Module.

The thermocouple must be connected using K Type Thermocouple wire or K Type compensating wire all the way to the amplifiers connector (there must be no copper wire in-between).

DIMENSIONS

Measurements in mm

PINOUT

2 Pin connector

Wiring code ANSI WC 96.1

Pin	Name
Wide pin	Negative (Red wire)
Narrow pin	Positive (Yellow Wire)

The connector pins and wire in the thermocouple are made from Nickel – Alumel (Negative Leg) and Nickel – Chromel (Positive Leg).

These dissimilar metals are critical for the operation of the thermocouple. Extension wiring must only be made from these metals. Copper wire and other connector types cannot be used unless cold junction compensation is employed at the connection.
