What Thermocouple Components Corp does

Thermocouple Components Corp is a privately held North American distributor and light manufacturer of thermocouple and RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) components, accessories, and fittings, founded in 2001 and operating from a 10,000 sqft warehouse facility in Flat Rock, North Carolina. Its product catalog spans connection heads (explosion-proof aluminum and stainless steel, general purpose, stainless steel, cast iron, nylon/polypropylene, and miniature nickel-plated variants), terminal blocks in multiple sizes and pole configurations, HAMITHERM-branded thermocouple connectors rated up to 650°C, compression and hex fittings, stainless steel tubing, flexible armor cable, bayonet adaptors, and HERAEUS platinum RTD elements. The company positions itself as a one-stop-shop for thermocouple assembly manufacturers, combining distribution partnerships with ISO-certified global manufacturers (HERAEUS, HAMITHERM) with in-house CNC custom machining capability for precision-threaded components.

The company operates a direct B2B sales model with no e-commerce transaction layer; orders are taken via phone (828-694-3637) and emails (matt@, paige@, [email protected]), with same-day shipping for standard catalog items from local inventory. Pricing is quote-based, positioned as competitive within the North American market. The customer base consists of thermocouple and RTD assembly manufacturers serving industrial process industries (chemical processing, oil & gas, power generation, manufacturing) requiring certified components for hazardous locations. Notable technical capabilities include CNC-machined NPT threads with +/- 1/4 tolerance (versus industry standard +/- 1/2), explosion-proof certifications (FM, FMC, ATEX, IECEx), and NEMA 4X/IP68 ratings on relevant product lines. The company is a small operation with 1-10 employees, no external funding, no named enterprise customers, and no disclosed revenue. Its website footer indicates 'A Division of Fix my PC Store,' suggesting a possible corporate parent relationship not otherwise confirmed.
