Adding a plug to a thermocoupler

[MikeFromHC]

I will Have a need to disconnect the thermocouple during transportation.
Is there any reason why a socket and plug can't be added in line as long as it is properly polarized?

Yes there are some thermocouple panel connectors used for what your looking for, fact I have been installing them on some project boxes for that specific reason, to be able to unplug them when moving or for transport reasons...I posted a picture of what they look like, I do have some if you interested.,

Thanks. Do these require a rectangular hole? It will be mounted on about a one half inch thick piece of aluminum and I don't have a lot of tools to play with.
How much and does it come with the mail side also?

They require drilling round holes and yes, they do come male and female, they work quite well. I do have them as yellow and black, the hole is around 3/4" and the threaded area is a good 1/2" deep. outer dimension 1-1/8"x1-1/8".
