Rewiring Thermocouple Mini-plug Connectors

Posted on December 8, 2023December 12, 2023 by Joshua Boone

Many thermocouple solutions are provided fully assembled and connected to a subminiature plug (SMP) with polarized blades, allowing the thermocouple to quickly be attached to a data logger. While these thermocouple solutions often save time and effort, it can be helpful to understand the basic principles of how a thermocouple is connected to an SMP. This can be especially useful when troubleshooting unusual temperature readings that may not be realistic for the application at hand.

Once you determine the type of thermocouple you need for your application, the decisions aren’t over. The last decision to make is the type of connector to be used; mini-plug, screw terminal or terminal block. Each type of connector has different benefits depending on your needs.

Carburization: Improving the Strength of Steel with Heat Treatment

Posted on April 6, 2021April 6, 2021 by MadgeTech Marketing

Carburization is a process that transforms low carbon steel into high carbon steel, creating strong and durable products required for industries across the board including aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. The thermochemical process introduces steel to a carbon-dense environment, via liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, with the product outcome dependent on temperature and hold time.
