Alcor 42526 144” LEAD TYPE K

The **Alcor Type K Extension Lead** (P/N **42526**) is a **144 in Type K extension lead** designed to connect compatible **thermocouple probes** to engine monitoring gauges. Manufactured from **high-quality stranded material**, the lead provides excellent flexibility and long service life. Unlike lower-quality single-stranded leads, stranded construction helps reduce the risk of breakage. The extension lead must be the **same thermocouple type** as the probe being connected. For example, a **Type K probe** must be used with **Type K leads**. Each lead length has a **different electrical resistance**, and the **combined resistance of the lead and probe must match the calibration of the gauge**. When replacing leads, select a lead with the correct resistance to suit the existing gauge calibration. For new installations, choose the lead length based on the distance between the probe and the gauge, then select a gauge with the corresponding calibration. **Calibration note:** EGT gauges with **relative lean-to-peak markings** can be recalibrated in flight by following the instructions supplied with the gauge. **TIT, CHT and EGT gauges with True Temperature markings** must either be recalibrated using an **Alcal System Tester** or returned to **Alcor** for recalibration if the combined lead and probe resistance does not match the gauge calibration. **Digital or amplified gauges** from other manufacturers are **not sensitive to lead resistance**. For these applications, the leads may be shortened as required without recalibration. --- ## Applications The Alcor 42526 Type K Extension Lead is suitable for: - Type K EGT probes - Type K TIT probes - Connecting compatible thermocouple probes to engine monitoring gauges - Replacement or new thermocouple installations --- ## Why CJ Aerospace?
