Thermocouples - Swaged or MGO Assemblies

Swaged or MGO thermocouples have a metal sheath and compacted Magnesium oxide powder for insulation. Since they have ceramic insulation, swaged thermocouples can go to a much higher temperature than Miniature and Probe types. Swaged thermocouples are very flexible and can safely handle a bend around a surface two times the diameter of the sheath. ! Note: If you would like to order a Type E, J, N, or Type T assembly, just substitute the K with a E, J, N, or T in the part numbers listed on this page. Double element assemblies are also available. Add a ” D ” to the part number. Example: 18K4DS9-G-K1-* Swaged thermocouples are also available in Types B, C, R, and S. Sheath materials other than the common ones listed at the bottom of this page can be ordered. Some of these include: Molybdenum, Tantalum, or Hastelloy. Phone one of our sales engineers for details. We understand how important the quality of our thermocouples is to our customers. This is why our thermocouples are made with high purity Magnesium oxide insulation and conductors which are within special limits of error.

Swaged thermocouple with a standard size plug. The plug is constructed with solid pins. We do not sacrifice quality by selling plugs with hollow pins. A 1/8” NPT 316 stainless steel compression fitting ( CF ) can also be specified by adding “ CF ” to the end of the part number. A grounded junction is standard for rapid temperature response.

Swaged thermocouples with a male plug and mating female jack. The plug is constructed with solid pins. We do not sacrifice quality by selling plugs with hollow pins. A female jack is also provided for attaching your lead wire. A 1/8” NPT 316 stainless steel compression fitting ( CF ) can also be specified by adding “ CF ” to the end of the part number. A grounded junction is standard for rapid temperature response. Swaged or MGO, Open Terminal (OTH) Swaged open terminal block assemblies can be exposed for easy access. They are useful in situations where a low profile is needed. The terminal block is ceramic for maximum heat resistance. A 1/8” NPT 316 stainless steel compression fitting ( CF ) can also be specified by adding “ CF ” to the end of the part number. A grounded junction is standard
