SMPW-CC

Supported Applications

The Omega SMPW-CC Series consists of miniature thermocouple connectors featuring an integral cable clamp cap. Designed for compact installations, these connectors provide a secure termination point for temperature sensing cables while offering strain relief and environmental protection in space-constrained applications.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The SMPW-CC Series is constructed from glass-filled nylon rated for an ambient operating temperature of -29 to 180°C (-20 to 356°F). The series supports wire gauges ranging from 40 AWG to 20 AWG, accommodating both stranded and solid conductors. It also accepts overbraid, TWSH, or armored cables up to a maximum outer diameter of 5.5 mm (0.22 in).

Minor discoloration may occur between 150°C (302°F) and 180°C (356°F); however, electrical properties remain unaffected within this range.

Configuration Options

The series offers a comprehensive selection of thermocouple types with specific compensating alloys for male and female configurations. Available alloy codes include K, T, J, E, R/S, C, U, and N. Each connector type is color-coded per ANSI standards (e.g., Yellow for Type K, Blue for Type T).

Key design features across the series include:

• Mechanical Assembly: Integral cap with cable clamp, captive cover screws, and captive clamp screws.
• Wire Termination: Contact washers enable quick connect wire termination without requiring a wire loop; an internal wire divider separates conductors.
• Housing Features: Includes a write-on window for identification and combination Phillips/slot screw heads. Assembly is performed 100% from the top side.
• Packaging Options: Connectors are available as single units or in bulk packs of 5, 50, or 100 (e.g., OSTW-CC-***-***).

Solid pin male connectors are available by adding the suffix "-S" to the model number. Accessories include the SMP-CC-TOOL Quick Assembly Tool and various silicone wire grommets for strain relief.

Key Product Differences

Variants within the SMPW-CC Series are distinguished by thermocouple alloy type, gender (Male or Female), and packaging quantity. The model number format follows SMPW-CC-<Alloy Code>-<Gender> (e.g., SMPW-CC-K-M for Type K Male).

Differences in physical dimensions exist between male and female connectors:

• Female Connector Dimensions: 34.11 mm (1.3 in) length, 25.4 mm (1.0 in) width, 8 mm (0.31 in) height.
• Male Connector Dimensions: 29.57 mm (1.2 in) length, 12.7 mm (0.5 in) width, 8 mm (0.31 in) height.

Bulk packaging options are identified by the OSTW-CC series code followed by calibration type and quantity suffixes.
