Available only from Watlow, the new clamping mechanism allows a straight-in application that squeezes the wire, forming a tight connection and assuring a clean, strong signal. Like Watlow's other connector lines, the S series is lightweight, rugged and accurate.

"The idea to introduce a new standard connector line came from our customers," said Art Volbrecht, product manager. "We work very closely with our customers and listen to their needs and concerns. The new clamping mechanism is exactly the easy-to-use, reliable solution the market requested. We are confident the product will be well received."

Additional features of the S series include: ASTM color coding for easy identification; compensated alloys for accurate readings; and glass filled thermoplastic to provide high impact strength. The connector is rated to 425°F (215°C), and meets requirements for ASTM E1129.

The new connector series is manufactured in Watlow's ISO 9001 registered facility in Richmond, Illinois. It is available by calling an authorized Watlow representative at 1-800-4-WATLOW. Watlow is a leading provider of thermal solutions including industrial heaters, sensors, controllers, software and systems.
