TE Connectivity lanza un nuevo conector para termopar de tipo K. (Fuente: TE Connectivity, PR098)DARMSTADT, Alemania – 12 de enero de 2017 – TE Connectivity (TE), líder mundial en conexión y sensores, ha presentado en la feria SPS IPC Drives un nuevo conector para termopar de tipo K. El conector incorpora un terminal especial de muelle que garantiza una conectividad superior respecto a la terminación tradicional de tornillo. El cierre de empuje facilita el acoplamiento y lo asegura gracias a la peculiar forma del mecanismo metálico de bloqueo, con lo cual se evitan desconexiones accidentales. Este diseño a prueba de contactos posee un índice de protección contra la penetración IP20. El nuevo conector, además, ofrece mayor flexibilidad de diseño y permite soluciones sueltas o montadas en panel.
