Highly Flexible Thermocouple Cables

Oct. 10, 2013

Highly-flexible Thermocouple Cables are designed for continuous motion, tight routing, excessive temperatures, and extremely harsh environments. The 28 AWG Flat Thermocouple Cable is available in Type J and K versions with 1 to 8 conductors and is excellent for temperature sensing, control instrumentation, heating systems, and automated equipment applications.

 

The compact, flame-retardant solution is free of halogens and contaminants and is engineered to provide space & weight savings, durability, and mission-critical reliability. Cicoil’s patented extrusion process allows each Thermocouple conductor to be placed in a flat profile, precisely controlling the spacing of each component, insulation thickness, and the overall cable shape.

 

The tear-resistant Flexx-Sil jacket is also self-healing from small punctures and will not wear, crack or deform due to long-term exposure to tight routing, vibration, heat, continuous flexing, water, ice, steam, sunlight, humidity, ozone, UV light, autoclave, and many chemicals.
