M12tccables

Supported Applications

The Omega M8 and M12 Thermocouple Extension Cables (M8C and M12C Series) serve as thermocouple extension assemblies. These cables feature female connectors designed to attach directly to male (pin) sensor connectors, extending the signal path from temperature sensors.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The series utilizes silicone insulation and jacketing for both M8 and M12 constructions. The measurement type is defined as Thermocouple Extension. Specific thermocouple color codes are provided to identify wire polarity and standards:

• J (ANSI): White positive, Red negative, Brown jacket.
• K (ANSI): Yellow positive, Red negative, Yellow jacket.
• JI (IEC): Black positive, White negative, Black jacket.
• KI (IEC): Green positive, White negative, Green jacket.

Configuration Options

The series supports configurable selections across connector size, thermocouple type standard, and cable length. Model numbers follow the format M8C-SIL--S-F- or M12C-SIL--S-F-.

Connector Configurations

• Size: Available in M8 and M12 female connectors.
• Orientations: Straight connector orientation is documented for the series.

Cable Lengths

Documented lengths include 1.5 m, 3.0 m, and 5.0 m in standard configurations. Additional variant SKUs indicate availability of extended lengths up to 20 m (e.g., M12C-SIL-J-S-F-20) and specialized options.

Thermocouple Types

The series offers Type J, K, JI, and KI thermocouple compensation. The "S" in the model number denotes straight orientation, while "F" indicates a female connector end.

Key Product Differences

Variants differ primarily by physical dimensions (M8 vs M12), thermocouple standard compliance (ANSI vs IEC color codes and types J/K/JI/KI), and total cable length. Specific model examples include M12C-SIL-J-F-3 for a 3 m Type J silicone insulated cable with an M12 female connector, and M8C-SIL-K-S-F-5 for a 5 m Type K assembly with an M8 straight female connector. Some variants include additional suffixes such as "SMPW" or "CC-M," indicating specific configuration options distinct from the standard series.
