SENSOR
SPECIFICATIONS
Thermocouples –
IEC 584
Applicable to sensors offered in Table A-5 on page A-10
and Table A-6 on page A-12
Construction
Rosemount DIN plate and
1
/2-in. adapter style thermocouples are
manufactured from selected materials to meet IEC 584 Tolerance Class 1.
The junction of these wires is laser-welded to form a pure joint, maintaining
circuit integrity and ensuring highest accuracy.
Lead Wires
Internal – 18 SWG (16 AWG) solid wire (max), 19 SWG (18 AWG) solid wire
(min.). External extension leads, type J and K – 0.8 mm minimum stranded
wire, PTFE insulation. Color coded per IEC 584
Insulation Resistance
1000 megaohms minimum insulation resistance when measured at 500 V dc
at room temperature.

Applicable to sensors offered in Table A-7 on page A-14
Construction
Rosemount
1
/2-in. adapter style thermocouples are manufactured using ISA
Type J or K wire with special limits of error accuracy. The junction of these
wires is fusion-welded to form a pure joint, to maintain the integrity of the
circuit and to ensure the highest accuracy.
Lead Wires
Thermocouple, internal – 16 AWG solid wire (max), 18 AWG solid wire (min.).
External lead wire – 20 AWG wire, PTFE insulation. Color coded per ASTM
E-230
Insulation Resistance
100 megaohms minimum insulation resistance when measured at 100 V dc at
room temperature
