Thermocouple connection heads are available in UL listed, explosion resistant configurations for uses in hazardous locations. Our more
common styles are shown in this catalog. If you are looking for a particular type, which is not shown here, please phone one of our sales
engineers since we have other heads in stock. All thermocouple connection heads are sold with connector blocks. If you would like to order
connection heads without blocks add
WOC
after the part number.
Example:
EXALH08-WOC
The hazardous location classifications of the heads are listed below. They are divided into classes, groups and divisions as listed in the
