Product Description
Type JX Thermocouple Extension Wire (2×1.5mm², PVC Insulated)
Product Overview
Type JX thermocouple extension wire (2×1.5mm²) from Huona New Material is a heavy-duty signal transmission cable designed to extend Type J (Iron/Constantan) thermocouple circuits from the cold junction to instrumentation. Featuring JX-grade conductors (special alloys matched to Type J thermoelectric characteristics) and durable PVC insulation, this cable is engineered for low-to-medium temperature industrial environments. It delivers stable EMF output up to 105°C continuous / 120°C short-term, making it ideal for heavy-current industrial control systems, power plants, and HVAC applications requiring high mechanical strength and reliable signal integrity.
Standard Designations & Core Material Foundation
- Thermocouple Type: Type J (Iron/Constantan)
- Wire Type: JX (Extension Grade; designed to match Type J EMF characteristics at lower temperatures)
- Key Specification: 2×1.5mm² solid/stranded conductors (tolerance: ±0.05mm)
- Insulation Material: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC, 105°C rating)
- Color Coding: Red (Positive, Iron) / Black (Negative, Constantan)
- Compliant Standards: IEC 60584-3, GB/T 4989-2013, ASTM E230, RoHS 2.0
- Manufacturer: Huona New Material, certified to ISO 9001 and IATF 16949
Key Core Advantages (Centered on 2×1.5mm² & JX Grade)
1. Heavy-Duty Mechanical Strength (2×1.5mm²)
- Increased Current Capacity: The 1.5mm² conductor cross-section provides significantly higher current-carrying capacity compared to standard 0.35mm or 0.5mm wires, suitable for long-distance runs without signal degradation.
- Enhanced Durability: Thicker conductors offer superior tensile strength and resistance to breakage during installation and in high-vibration industrial settings.
2. JX Grade Signal Integrity
- Matched EMF Characteristics: JX extension wire uses alloys specifically formulated to replicate the thermoelectric behavior of Type J (Iron/Constantan) thermocouples at temperatures up to 105°C, minimizing measurement errors introduced by the extension leads.
- Low Contact Resistance: The larger conductor surface area ensures excellent electrical contact when terminated to terminal blocks or connectors, reducing signal noise.
3. Cost-Effective & Versatile Installation
- PVC Insulation Performance: Cost-effective PVC insulation offers good resistance to moisture, oil, and abrasion, suitable for indoor and protected outdoor industrial environments.
- Easy Termination: The 1.5mm² size is compatible with standard industrial terminal blocks and crimp connectors, facilitating quick and secure installation.
