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 color-coding dot. Two-piece ceramic construction assures long life, while the oversized terminal screws allow for easy wiring.

Works as advertised
Connectors work as advertised although being ceramic they crack easily with rough handling.
Note: Strain relief clamps are also needed to facilitate holding the attached cable in place.

Hight temp connector
I like the firm hold on the connectors but did not realize how fragile the cover assembly is. I broke the cover with only moderate tightening of the screws.
I was a little more cautious on the next assembly and it was ok.

High temp Type K (male)
Used in a 600C muffle furnace application. Does it's job well after a couple weeks so far. Will update if anything happens in the future, 8/10/23

Reliable performance at high temperatures
These connectors perform well under environments well above temperatures where plastic connectors fail. Their reliability is critical in our high temperature heat exchanger testing.

High temp performance at a cost.
These thermocouple connectors are some of the highest temperature connectors you will find on the market. However, they are very fragile due to their ceramic nature and we found they will break not only when dropped but also if you're not careful tightening the screws. The lids are kept on through captive nuts, but many of the nuts were loose during shipping and some came missing. They will get the job done, but I highly recommend ordering extras.

What is the screw size used on ceramic mini thermocouple connectors, to install cover?
Hi Geo1
Thank you for the inquiry. The terminal screw is a 3-48 x 3/16 long combo pan head and the cap screw is a 2-56 x 1/4 long filister head combo screw.
Best regards
OMEGA

What is the percentage of alumina the SHX-K-F body contains?
Thank you for your question.
The SHX series bodies all contain a minimum of 95% alumina.
