What is the diameter of the thermocouple 5TC-TT-J-40-36? Can it be used at temperatures up to 500 °C? At what temperature does the insulation start to melt for this thermocouple?

Thank you for your inquiry Moe1. The size of the cross section of 5TC-TT-J-40-36 is 0.4 x 0.7 mm (0.017" x 0.026"). You cannot use 5TC-TT-J-40-36 at temperatures up to 500 °C since it is only rated for temperatures up to 260 C and will start to melt if used in temperatures over 260 C.

What is the percentage uncertainty for 5TC-TT-KI-40-1M? I am working in a temperature range of 15-60 degrees, is the uncertainty 0.4%, so 0.06-0.24 C?

Thank you for the inquiry. We do not provide uncertainty numbers for this series. Accuracy spec follows ANSI special limits of error; +/- 0.4% of reading or 1.1 C whichever is greater. Best regards OMEGA

What's the maximum Temp for 5TC-TT-T-24-72 that the insulation not melt?

The maximum temperature that the wire insulation can withstand is 260C

What is the external dimension (cross section) of 5TC-TT-T-40-36?

(0.017 x 0.026) (Height x Width)

Are you able to cut the lead half of the wires on these? i don't want to trim them and cause a short.

Thank you for your inquiry. You can cut the leads as much as you need to.
