Overview
NI offers thermocouples and RTDs for your measurement and
automation systems. These sensors are available in versatile
configurations – field-cuttable probes and ready-made sensors. NI
also offers spools of thermocouple wire and extension wire.
Thermocouple Miniconnector Plugs
For applications requiring fast, easy
connection and disconnection of
thermocouples, we suggest thermocouple
miniconnectors. These plugs work
with any standard thermocouple
miniconnector jack, including those

Thermocouples
Thermocouples are the most popular temperature measurement
transducers available. Because of their low cost and wide
temperature acceptance range, you can use thermocouples for a
wide variety of applications in all industries. All NI thermocouples and
extension wires are available in J, K, T, and E types and follow ANSI
color coding specifications.

available with the TC-2095, SCXI-1112,
SC-2311, SC-2345, and CA-1000 Series connector panelettes.
Thermocouple miniconnector plugs come in quantities of 10, and
are available for J, K, T, and E types.
RTDs
Field-Cuttable Thermocouples
NI field-cuttable thermocouples suit a wide variety of temperature
applications. With field-cuttable thermocouples, you can cut the
metal sheathed probe to the desired length – from 8.9 to 61 cm
(3.5 to 24 in.)
RTDs are popular for high-accuracy temperature measurement
applications. NI offers 3-wire, 100
Ω
platinum RTDs that conform to
the DIN 43760-1980 (European) standard curve (a = 0.00385).
These RTDs are available as field-cuttable metal sheathed probes and
ready-made element configurations.
Ready-Made Thermocouples
For cost-sensitive applications, NI offers ready-made thermocouples –
individual packets of thermocouple wire with the measuring junction
provided at one end. Ready-made thermocouples are ideal for starter
or educational applications.
Field-Cuttable RTDs
NI field-cuttable RTDs are ideal for a wide variety of temperature
applications. With field-cuttable RTDs, you can cut the metal sheathed
probe to the desired length – from 8.9 to 61 cm (3.5 to 24 in.).
Ready-Made RTDs
Thermocouple and Extension Wire
For large-scale or custom temperature measurement applications,
NI offers spools of thermocouple and extension wire. You are
responsible for making the thermocouple junction.
Ready-made RTDs offer solutions for cost-sensitive temperature
measurement applications. Each RTD element is sealed in an
Alumina tube, with three Teflon-coated leads, and can measure up
to 204 °C (400 °F).
