PMC Thermocouple
ISO9001:2000

 

    
   

     
PRODUCT CODE: PC/PC031

Our customers have grown to expect only the highest quality products from PMC A Division of R-SCC.

This construction is designed for signal transmission applications which are susceptible to electrostatic noise or interference.

Each conductor is insulated with a 15 mil nominal wall of 221°F (105°C) FR PVC compound to insure insulation integrity. The matched pairs are twisted together with a tinned copper drain wire and a polyester backed aluminum shield is helically applied prior to the jacketing process. A rugged 221°F (105°C) FR PVC jacket provides excellent resistance to acids, alkalies, weather, moisture, oils, and mechanical abrasions. This construction is available as either a 300 volt UL approved power limited tray cable or in a non-UL approved version. Both constructions are color-coded according to ANSI MC96.1-1982 to aid in identification of both polarity and calibration.

You will find our qualified sales and engineering staff eager to assist you in selecting a design to meet the requirements of your specific application.

NOTE: Percent limits apply directly to temperature in °C units, but for °F equivalents are applied to the numbers of °F above or below the ice point (+32°F).
(i.e. Limit (°F) = (Temp. °F-32°F) x Percentage)
Thermocouple wire cannot be expected to meet the limits of error at temperatures below the ice point unless specified at time of purchase.
