  • Thermocouple connector
    Patent number: 5141335
    Abstract: A thermocouple connector for measuring the temperature of a surface includes a heat conductive casing having a hollow interior and a linear ridge on one side. The apex of the linear ridge forms a contact zone with the surface. A pair of thermocouple leads extends into the hollow interior of the casing, and are attached to the casing at and parallel to the linear ridge. The contact zone is sufficiently wide in relation to the distance of the contact zone from the leads such that welds along the side of the contact zone penetrate the contact zone, but do not penetrate so far as to burn the leads.
