Compensation cable type K AN 5-022 2x0.22 mm² 48207

Compensating lead – precision measurements and reliable connections

This compensating lead, catalog number 48207, is a key element in measurement and control systems where high reading accuracy is required. It serves as an extension of the thermocouple to the measuring device, ensuring minimization of errors resulting from thermoelectric potential differences. This lead is particularly useful in industrial applications, laboratories, and anywhere precise temperature measurement is critical.

Construction and properties

The AN 5-022 lead is made of high-quality materials, guaranteeing its durability and reliability. Its construction includes conductors made of special alloys (Fe/Cu-Ni, Ni/Cr-Ni or Pt-Rh/Pt), insulated with a material selected by the customer – PVC, silicone, Teflon or fiberglass. This allows the lead to be adapted to specific working conditions and temperature ranges. In addition, a braided screen made of tinned steel or copper wires provides protection against electromagnetic interference.

It is worth noting the electrical parameters of the leads: conductor resistance according to DIN 43713 for Fe is 0.080 Ohm/m, for CuNi – 0.327 Ohm/m, NiCr – 0.07 Ohm/m, Ni – 0.3 Ohm/m, PtRh – 0.023 Ohm/m and Pt – 0.041 Ohm/m. Test voltage for leads with PVC, fluoropolymer and silicone insulation is 500V (conductor/conductor and conductor/screen and screen/screen), and for leads with fiberglass insulation also 500V (conductor/conductor). Insulation resistance for PVC, silicone and fluoropolymer is minimum 10 MOhm x km.
