Product Identity
The Dayton 36GL01 is a Type J thermocouple jack built for temperature-sensing circuits in HVAC and industrial control panels. Its glass-filled nylon body and nylon sheath resist heat and mechanical stress in demanding environments. The two-pin flat-pin layout matches standard Type J connectors for quick, secure mating. Engineers and maintenance technicians specify this jack when a reliable, high-temperature signal interface is required.
Decisive Specification
The connector is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 428 Degrees F (220 Degrees C), which determines whether it survives the process heat at the measurement point. Exceeding this limit degrades the housing and sheath, causing signal drift or failure. Verify the application temperature stays within this boundary before installation. No other rating in the data sheet overrides this thermal ceiling.
Thermal and Electrical Behaviour
In normal use the glass-filled nylon housing remains stable up to the rated 428 Degrees F, so the jack adds negligible thermal resistance to the sensor circuit. The flat pins maintain low contact resistance without active cooling or special wiring practices. Power draw is limited to the millivolt-level sensor signal, so self-heating and noise are not practical concerns. The jack simply passes the thermocouple voltage to the instrument.

Questions about this item
What does the 428 °F temperature rating mean when the jack is wired into a live circuit?
The 428 °F (220 °C) limit is the maximum continuous temperature the glass-filled nylon body and nylon sheath can withstand without degrading, so the jack stays mechanically sound and electrically stable at that heat level.
Which standard governs the flat-pin Type J interface and what does it cap in practice?
The flat-pin Type J interface follows the standard thermocouple connector pattern for iron-constantan pairs, capping the connection at the same 428 °F (220 °C) service temperature as the housing material.
What panel cut-out or mounting hardware does the 36GL01 jack need to fit securely?
The jack uses a standard two-pin thermocouple connector footprint; it fits the common round panel cut-out used for miniature thermocouple jacks and locks in place with the integral latch on the glass-filled nylon housing.
