K-Type JIS Teflon Thermocouple Cable 2x0.50 mm² is a Teflon-insulated temperature measurement cable used in K-Type NiCr-Ni thermocouple measurement circuits. It is used to transmit the thermoelectric signal generated by the thermocouple sensor to the temperature controller, indicator, data logger, PLC system or control panel.
The two-core cable has a cross-sectional area of 2x0.50 mm² and combines mono/solid thermoelement conductors, Teflon insulation and JIS color coding. 0.50 mm² conductor cross-section offers a balanced structure between mechanical strength and practical installation in panel connections and field applications.
This product is not a standard power cable. It should be used to establish or maintain the measurement circuit with the appropriate thermoelement structure. For accurate measurement, the cable must be compatible with the K-Type thermocouple and the positive-negative core polarity must be maintained throughout the connection.
The positive and negative thermoelement conductors of the cable are separately insulated with Teflon material. The insulating layer helps electrically protect the measurement line by preventing the cores from touching each other or surrounding conductive surfaces.
Teflon insulation is preferred in industrial measurement applications requiring resistance to heat and chemical contact, as well as a low-friction surface. The exact fluoropolymer type, operating temperature, and chemical compatibility of the insulation must be evaluated according to the manufacturer's technical data sheet.
In a mono/solid conductor construction, each core consists of a single wire. This structure provides consistent terminal connections in fixed installations and panel connections. In applications involving continuous movement, intense vibration or repeated bending, the mechanical suitability of the cable must be evaluated separately.
This K-Type thermocouple cable uses JIS color coding. The red-insulated core indicates the positive (+)and the white-insulated core indicates the negative (-) connection.
The cable has a blue outer sheath. The blue outer sheath and red and white cores make it easier to identify the cable as part of a K-Type JIS thermocouple circuit during installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Different color code systems can be used on thermocouple cables, such as JIS, IEC and ANSI. Therefore, the same K-Type thermocouple cable can be produced with different core and outer sheath colors depending on the standard used. When choosing a product, not only the thermocouple type but also the color code standard used in the current system should be taken into account.
The measurement principle does not change between a JIS-color-coded K-Type thermocouple cable and K-Type cables using other color standards, provided that their thermoelement construction is the same. The principal difference is the colors used to identify the positive and negative conductors.
When connecting to an installation or measuring instrument with a different color standard, the process should not be based solely on the core color. Thermocouple type, polarity markings and device connection diagram should be checked together.
K-Type thermocouple cable enables the line between the sensor and the measuring instrument to be established with the K-Type thermoelement structure. Choosing the cable compatible with the sensor type helps reduce measurement deviations that may arise from unsuitable connection materials.
The 2x0.50 mm² construction offers a balance between mechanical strength and practical installation for control-panel connections and field applications. When selecting the cable cross-sectional area, the connection distance, terminal size, installation space, and thermocouple connector should be considered together.
Offering a tougher structure than cables with thinner cross-sections, it can help the cable to be used in a more controlled manner in internal panel transitions, fixed sensor lines and terminal connections.
Teflon insulation is beneficial in applications requiring resistance to heat and chemical contact, as well as a low-friction surface. It can make the cable easier to route through suitable cable ducts, control-panel openings, and device connection points.
Easy separation of red and white wires makes polarity control easier during connection. The blue outer sheath helps to identify the cable faster in facilities using the JIS color standard.
Teflon insulation is preferred in industrial temperature measurement applications requiring temperature and chemical resistance. Its low-friction surface can make the cable easier to route through suitable ducts and passage points.
2x0.50 mm² cross-section provides a tougher physical structure than thin-section cables. However, in applications with tensile loads, crushing, sharp bending or continuous movement, the mechanical suitability of the cable should be evaluated separately.
Its mono/solid conductor structure ensures regular use in fixed installations and panel connections. In applications where the cable is constantly moving, exposed to vibration or frequently bent, alternatives with flexible conductors should be considered.
Insulation material must not be the only consideration when determining the cable's actual operating conditions. Ambient temperature, chemical contact, mechanical movement, minimum bending requirements, connection distance, wiring route, and the terminal or connector used must be evaluated together.
In a K-Type thermocouple circuit, the positive and negative conductors must be connected to the correct terminals. Under the JIS color code, the red core indicates the positive (+)and the white core indicates the negative (-) connection.
Reversed polarity may cause the measured value to move in the wrong direction as the temperature changes or cause the device to display an incorrect value. The positive and negative terminal markings on the controller, indicator, or PLC must be checked before connection.
When making the connection, use a cable, terminal, and thermocouple connector compatible with K-Type. The use of a standard copper connection cable, a cable for a different thermocouple type or unsuitable connection elements may cause measurement deviation.
If a connection is to be made to a system with an IEC or ANSI color code, the cores should not be matched based on color alone. Since positive and negative core colors may vary in different standards, the connection must be made according to the terminal markings and device diagram.
Due to its mono/solid conductor structure, the cable should not be stressed on routes with constant movement or frequent bending. The cable must be protected from sharp edges, crush points and direct flame contact.
The thermocouple cable must be routed as far as possible from motor supply circuits, inverter outputs, and high-current power cables. Suitable shielded cable and installation methods should be considered in applications with high levels of electrical noise.

When choosing a K-Type JIS thermocouple cable, sensor type, thermoelement compatibility, color code standard, conductor cross-section, conductor structure, insulation material, cable length and measuring instrument to be used should be evaluated together.
This product is suitable for K-Type NiCr-Ni thermocouple measurement circuits. For J, T, N, E, R, S or different types of thermocouple sensors, a measurement cable suitable for the relevant thermocouple type must be used.
2x0.50 mm² mono / solid structure can be preferred for fixed panel and field connections. In applications involving continuous movement, intense vibration or repetitive bending, cable options with flexible conductors should be considered.
If the existing system is prepared according to the JIS color code, using the same standard facilitates cable tracking during installation, maintenance and fault detection. If a connection is to be made to a system with a different color standard, matching should be done not only on color but also on polarity and terminal diagram.
