SHX subminiature connectors
are ideal for use with fine gage
thermocouple wires in applications
where high temperatures are
required. The SHX connector is
permanently dot-coded to conform
to ANSI and OMEGA standards; for
applications such as high vacuum
furnaces where contamination
would adversely affect the
process, USHX connectors are
shipped with a removable colorcoding dot. Two-piece ceramic
construction assures long life,
while the oversized terminal
screws allow for easy wiring.
