TPJ

Supported Applications

The Omega TPJ series consists of 3-Prong Snap-In Panel Jacks designed for Thermocouples and RTD's. These connectors accept Heavy Duty OTP-Type 3-Prong Connectors, providing a reusable interface that requires no additional mounting hardware or installation tools.

• Thermocouple types K (CHROMEGA®-ALOMEGA®), T (Copper-Constantan), J (Iron-Constantan), and E (CHROMEGA®-Constantan).
• Type U Uncompensated connectors used with type B thermocouples (Pt/6% Rh-Pt 30% Rh), RTD's, and thermistors.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The TPJ series features a glass-filled nylon housing rated for an ambient operating temperature of -29 to 180°C (-20 to 356°F). The connectors are interlocking, color-coded, and numbered. Electrical connections accept Stranded or Solid Wire up to Size 14 AWG using Combination Phillips/Slot Screws.

• Overall dimensions: Height 55.6 mm (2.19"); Width 19.1 mm (0.75").
• Note: Minor discoloration of the connector may occur between 150°C (302°F) and 180°C (356°F), though electrical properties are not affected.

Configuration Options

The series supports configurable shell colors, alloy codes, and pin configurations to match specific sensor requirements. Model numbers follow the format TPJ-<Alloy Code>-<Shell Color Code>.

• Connector Gender: Female prongs (suffix "-F") or male pins (change suffix to "-M").
• Thermocouple Compatibility and Shell Colors: • Type K: Yellow shell • Type T: Blue shell • Type J: Black shell • Type E: Purple shell • Type U (Uncompensated): White shell

Key Product Differences

Variants within the TPJ series are distinguished by their alloy code and connector gender. The "-F" suffix denotes female connectors, while changing this to "-M" provides jacks with male connector prongs at no additional cost.

• Type U (Uncompensated) variants utilize Copper for both compensating alloys (+/-).
• Removal Tool SIRT-2 is available as an accessory option.
