Ultra-Fine Thermocouple
Polymer-Coated Thermocouples Smaller Than AWG 50 for Temperature-Monitored Catheters
Junkosha's Ultra-Fine Thermocouple enables precision temperature monitoring in ablation catheters and esophageal diagnostic systems. Available in Type-T (copper-constantan) and Type-K (chromel-alumel) configurations, with conductor sizes from AWG 38 down to AWG 50 (0.025 mm). Fewer than a handful of manufacturers globally can produce thermocouples thinner than AWG 38; Junkosha has commercialized versions below AWG 50 with JIS C 1602 Class 1 temperature tolerance (±0.5°C for Type-T, ±1.5°C for Type-K).
Key Features
- ✓Ultra-fine conductor range: AWG 38–50 (as small as 0.025 mm)
