  • Patent number: 4718777
    Abstract: In a temperature measurement system using a thermocouple connected to a pair of circuit wires coupled to a voltmeter for providing an output reading, an isothermal block (48) formed of alumina ceramic contains a series of openings (58-66) in linear juxtaposition. Metal connectors (68) located in two of the openings to interconnect the thermocouple and printed circuit wires of a circuit board (52) establish a reference junction. A temperature sensor (50), preferably a transistor, in a third opening measures the temperature of the isothermal block (48) to compensate the output reading for error created by the reference junction. The connectors (68) are in resilient contact with the interior wall of the isothermal block (48) to maintain good heat conductivity between the connectors and the temperature sensor (50). Portions of the connectors (68) extending outside the isothermal block (48) retain the isothermal block (48) to the circuit board (52).
