The Maxwell TT-501 Series is a robust and highly versatile threaded thermocouple temperature transmitter engineered for demanding industrial environments. Housed in a rugged, explosion-proof aluminum alloy enclosure, this transmitter delivers reliable and accurate temperature measurement across a wide range of process conditions. An integrated digital display provides clear, on-site readings, while the RS485 (Modbus RTU) communication output enables seamless integration into modern PLC-based control systems, SCADA networks, and building management systems.

With its highly customizable design — featuring multiple thread options (M6, M8, 1/4 BSP, 1/4 NPT), a selection of premium probe materials (304, 316, and 310 stainless steel, brass, and aluminum), and a comprehensive range of lead wire materials — the TT-501 can be precisely configured to meet the exact requirements of any installation. Both grounded and ungrounded junction configurations are available, offering a choice between faster thermal response and electrical isolation to suit the specific demands of each application.

The TC-K14B is a fast-response K-type thermocouple engineered for applications where rapid, accurate temperature measurement is essential. Unlike conventional sheathed thermocouples, the TC-K14B features an exposed welded-bead junction with minimal thermal mass, enabling it to detect temperature changes within fractions of a second. This makes it the preferred choice for dynamic temperature monitoring tasks in research, testing, and industrial quality control environments.

The sensor is constructed from a fine-gauge Chromel-Alumel (K-type) thermocouple wire pair, twisted together and insulated with a flexible fiberglass braid. The green-and-white color coding of the lead wire follows the international K-type thermocouple standard, providing clear polarity identification. The fiberglass insulation offers excellent thermal resistance and flexibility, allowing the sensor to be routed through confined spaces and around complex geometries without risk of insulation damage.

At the instrument end, the TC-K14B is fitted with a standard miniature K-type quick-disconnect connector (green housing, labeled 'K NiCr+ / NiAl−'), which is compatible with a wide range of handheld thermometers, data loggers, and temperature indicators that accept the IEC 60584 / ANSI miniature thermocouple connector standard. The plug-and-play design eliminates the need for field wiring, enabling rapid deployment and sensor replacement without tools or specialist knowledge.

The lead wire length is fully customizable, making the TC-K14B adaptable to installations where the measurement point is located at a significant distance from the instrument. As part of the PIDMaxWell range of temperature measurement solutions, the TC-K14B is designed to integrate seamlessly with PIDMaxWell PID temperature controllers, temperature transmitters, and compatible third-party instrumentation.

The PIDMaxWell Quick Connectors series provides a complete range of thermocouple quick-connect plugs and sockets for use with K, J, T, E, and N type thermocouples and extension wires. Available in both standard and miniature sizes, and in nylon (up to 220 °C) or ceramic (up to 650 °C) body materials, the connectors are colour-coded in accordance with universal thermocouple standards — yellow for K, black for J, violet for E, blue for T, and orange for N — making polarity identification and type verification immediate and error-free in the field.

Each connector is supplied as a matched male (plug) and female (socket) pair. The polarised pin geometry prevents incorrect insertion, and the screw-terminal wire clamps inside each connector body accept a wide range of thermocouple and extension wire gauges without soldering. The compact miniature format is ideal for space-constrained installations and portable instrumentation, while the standard format provides a more robust grip for fixed industrial installations. All connectors are fully customisable and available in bulk quantities to order.
