OMEGA PCC-SMD-20 Offers

The PCC-SMD connector from Omega is perfect for bringing thermocouple, RTD, and/or thermistor probes to high volume production printed circuit boards. Take advantage of the built-in cold junction compensation features of your chosen analog to digital converter (ADC). The flat bottoms of these connectors have a superior design that thermally couples them to the circuit board for ideal cold-junction compensation.

These SMT populated connectors can be used with any Thermocouple Calibration and are designed for low-cost, high-volume production. They also feature a patent-pending asymmetric design that prevents connectors from being plugged in backward. Connectors come conveniently packaged in 13" (330 mm) diameter tape-and-reel.

Features

• Surface mount device, solders directly to printed circuit boards; comes on a reel for use with pick-and-place machines
• Use in pairs for miniature 2-pin thermocouple connectors; also great for RTDs and thermistors (use 1 contact per pin)
• Perfect for handheld thermometers and dataloggers
• Universal calibration, great accuracy when paired with integrated cold junction compensation
• Nickel-plated beryllium copper, -58 to 248°F (-50 to 120°C) ambient operating temperature range (higher with high temp PCB)
• Patent-pending design features reverse polarity protection for the error-proof assembly

Applications

• High-volume printed circuit board assembly
• Handheld thermometer manufacturing
• Datalogger and instrument production
• On-board thermocouple, RTD, and thermistor interfacing
• Cold-junction compensation on the circuit board
