OVERVIEW
• Fast Response
• Type K Thermocouple
• 22 AWG Fiberglass insulated conductors, stranded
• Embed copper cap into brake pad
MADE IN THE USA
The Embedded Brake Pad Thermocouple Sensor is designed for use in R&D and Motorsports testing of brake pad temperature. The sensor is made in the USA with superior materials, designed to withstand even the most rigorous testing conditions.
The Embedded Brake Pad Thermocouple Sensor is designed to deliver high performance temperature measurements, reliably and consistently. These temperature sensors are designed for Research and Development, test labs, manufacturing engineering and production environments. They can be customized for OEM applications as well.
Installation Instructions:
• Drill thru-hole in pad from backplate side using #31 drill bit (0.120")
• Route wires through hole from braking pad surface side and set cap flush with pad by lightly tapping with a hammer
• Sink cap depth about 1 to 2 mm into the pad surface using a nail set or punch, depth may need to be adjusted as brake pad wears
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please confirm with your instrument manufacturer that the instrument is compatible with a Type K thermocouple sensor.
