    GENERAL
    OBA supplies a wide range of specialized cables, not only for the electric motor industry, but also for other applications.
    Our primary ranges are silicone, single core cables that are suitable for temperature ranges of -60°C to 180°C and -90°C to 450°C. This cable, suitable from -90°C to 450°C, is available in both single and multi-core types. Although the majority of these cables have copper conductors some are a nickel alloy for special applications.

    Also available are specialized cables that are suitable for temperatures up to 1400°C.

    In addition to the specialized range above cables for use in the following ranges of applications are available. For full detailed specifications please contact your nearest OBA office.

  • Low Voltage (Garden & Irrigation)
  • Data
  • Automotive
  • Marine

    • Thermocouple cables (COUPLIX)


    GENERAL
    Thermoelectric effect (Seebeck): The thermoelectric effect consists of the production of an electromotive force (emf) created by the temperature difference between two different metal or alloy junctions making up the same circuit.

    Thermocouple: A thermoelectric couple is formed by a pair of conductors of different types connected at their ends, to provide a complete circuit that can be used for measuring temperature by thermoelectric effect.

    Extension Cables: Extension cables are manufactured with wires of the same composition as the wires of the corresponding couples. They are coded with the letter "X" placed after the thermocouple code, for example "JX".

    Compensation Cables: Compensation cables are manufactured with wires of different stranding or material to the wires of the corresponding thermocouples. They are marked by the letter "C" placed after the thermocouple code, for example "KC". Different alloys can be used for the same type of thermocouple.

    Note: All stocked thermocouple cables are supplied in A.N.S.I. colour code.
