Ecklund-Harrison Technologies Inc.

The receptacles are fittings machined from stainless steel, brass, or Delrin.
A hole is punched in the container (can, pouch, or other type of container) and the body of the receptacle
is passed through the hole. A nut is then threaded onto the body of the receptacle.
The thermocouple is threaded into the internal threads of the receptacle and hand-tightened
with the thermocouple spanner wrench (C-14).
When properly installed, the thermocouple and thermocouple receptacle provide a seal capable of holding a vacuum.

C-5 - Non-Locking Receptacle
The C-5 is a two piece receptacle machined from stainless steel and is the most frequent choice for tests
in metal cans in still or non-agitating retorts. The C-5 is used with the C-6 (non-locking connector).
The C-5D is identical to the C-5 except that it is machined of Delrin.

C-9 - Locking Receptacle
The C-9 is identical to the C-5 except that it has an additional external thread for locking the connector (C-10) to the receptacle to prevent accidental disconnection during a rotating or agitating process.
The C-9 is used with the C-10 (locking connector) and is also available in Delrin, as C-9D, for applications where a non-metallic composition is preferred.

C-5.1 - Plastic Pouch Receptacle
The C-5.1 is designed for use with plastic pouches and is used with C-2, C-3, CNS and CNL thermocouples.

C-5.1M - Thermocouple for Plastic Pouch - Modified
This design requires only a 1/4” hole through the pouch. The hole may be punched through the flange area by means of an ordinary 1/4” paper punch. The seal is effected by an “O” ring inserted on the inside of the package.
The outer end of the receptacle has an external thread and nut to permit mounting on an angle bracket.
The C-5.1M receptacle is usable only with CNS and CNL thermocouples.

C-5.1ML - Thermocouple for Plastic Pouch - Modified (Locking)
This is the same as the C-5.1M, but is designed for use with locking connectors (C-10).

C-5.2 - Stuffing Box
The C-5.2 is a four part brass fitting designed to seal a wire into a plastic pouch.
The C-5.2 is used on the pouch thermocouple assembly (PCH-TC).
