Looking for 5 People to Experiment with Thermocouple/RTD Connectors

rscasny

What's the best way to connect a Thermocouple or an RTD probe to a printed circuit board (PCB). I was asked that question during a call I had with a supplier who manufactures thermocouple and RTD probes, among other things.image

 

It's not a question I am asked frequently. Hmm, good question: soldering, connectors, terminal blocks, etc.

 

At then end of that informative call, they decided to give me some of their new surface mounted Thermocouple/RTD probe connectors to give out to some interested members to experiment with.

 

Who I am Looking for

Anyone can apply by offering a comment below and tell me something about what you had in mind. I think if you were working on a temperature control/monitoring system and were using and connecting thermocouples/RTDs you would be great for this little project. But anyone who has a mind to experiment with these connectors is invited to offer their idea. I will send you some of the connectors to you.

 

I will send you some of these connectors. I'd like you to examine them, experiment with these connectors, and then write a blog on element14.

  • I would be interested in testing the connection mechanism on the Raspberry Pi project that uses temperature sensors..

     

    My objective would be to try and mount the connectors on perf boards. Looking at the pictorial from the Element14 posting the connectors assembly is in two parts. The binding posts solder to a printed circuit board and a connector assembly mates to the binding posts. My testing is to determine if the connectors can work on a PCB that is not manufactured. PCB that are the bread and butter of the hobbyist.

     

    I would like to try and assemble three boards. That would require 3 binding posts X 2 sets per board X three boards and 2 connectors per 3 boards.

    18 binding posts and 6 connectors is what I get for totals.
