Dayton 36GK85 Thermocouple Plug Type K Yellow Miniature

Dayton Type K Miniature Plug

The Dayton 36GK85 is a Type K thermocouple mini plug with a yellow glass-filled nylon housing. It suits technicians and engineers who need a compact, polarised connection for temperature sensors in HVAC, laboratory or industrial settings. The flat-pin design ensures correct orientation when mating with a matching jack. This component is sold new and carries no manufacturer logo on the body.

Temperature rating and construction

The plug body withstands continuous exposure up to 180 degrees Celsius or 356 degrees Fahrenheit. Glass-filled nylon provides mechanical rigidity and electrical insulation at these temperatures without melting or deforming. A nylon sheath covers the wire-entry area, protecting conductors from abrasion and strain during routine handling. No active cooling or power draw is involved, so noise and thermal load are not applicable.

Flat-pin polarisation benefit

Flat pins prevent accidental reversal of the thermocouple leads, preserving measurement accuracy for Type K circuits. The miniature form factor allows dense panel layouts where space is limited. The yellow colour coding follows the standard Type K convention, helping installers identify the correct plug quickly. No additional software, drivers or accessories are bundled with this hardware item.
