We currently have a number of thermocouple sockets which are currently hand wired with thermocouple cable and crimped into a 15 way sub- miniature D-Type.
Can anyone say if there was such a thing as a ribbon cable Type - K, where alternate wires are of the appropriate metal type so one end could go into an IDC connector held at a known temperature? This would also save on our assembly time and we could also clamp this ribbon cable to an aluminium block to reduce the effect of conduction along the cable.
I would be grateful if anyone could help or point me in any direction.
