Micro-Thermocouples
Nanmac Micro-Thermocouples (A14C Series) are flexible fine gage thermocouple wires used whenever fast, accurate temperature measurements are required. The thermocouple consists of two dissimilar metals, joined together at one end. A small voltage is produced by the two metals, which can be measured and interpreted by a control system. The dissimilar metals are individually insulated, and an overcoat is present to maintain an intimate bifilar configuration. Custom applications including medical, aerospace, and others which require micro sensor system requirements.
