Temperature Controllers

TE Technology offers numerous temperature controllers for cooling-only applications as well as heating and cooling applications. Our temperature controllers use fast pulse-width modulation to provide control that does not cause harmful thermal cycling of the thermoelectric (Peltier) device as can happen when using common on/off type controllers. TE Technology controllers offer various computer interfaces including USB, RS-232 and RS-485 communications.

All of our temperature controllers are designed and assembled in the USA from domestic and foreign components. The Country Of Origin (COO) is USA; there are no tariff surcharges for parts shipping within the United States.

TC-48-20

The TC-48-20 is an easy to use yet powerful cool-only or heat-only PWM temperature controller. It is housed in a die-cast aluminum box, incorporates a keypad and display, and is capable of controlling from 0 to 50 volts and up to 20 amps. Two versatile alarm outputs are included, each capable of switching up to 1 amp of current. If a true linear-output control system is desired (for applications extremely sensitive to electrical noise) the TC-48-20 can be used as the control head for high-power, variable-output linear supplies. Most control parameters can be programmed via the built-in keypad, but the controller can also be connected to a computer via an optional RS232 serial cable for more advanced program control as well as data graphing and data logging. The software is shipped as a stand-alone program, but the LabVIEW source code (version 2011 and higher) is also available upon request and a sample read and write command programmed in Python is also available for download.

TC-48-20 OEM

The TC-48-20 OEM has the same control capabilities as the TC-48-20 but leaves off the keypad, display interface, and housing to keep costs to a minimum. The controller can be connected to a computer via an optional RS232 serial cable and used with the included software to provide program control as well as data graphing and data logging. The software is shipped as a stand-alone program, but the LabVIEW source code (version 2011 and higher) is also available upon request and a sample read and write command programmed in Python is also available for download.

TC-720

The TC-720 is a bipolar, heat and cool, thermoelectric temperature controller with USB communications. It is capable of controlling up to 36 volts and 20 amps. One standard thermistor, model MP-3193, is included. A second sensor can be attached for monitoring and alarm purposes. The controller is housed in a die-cast aluminum box and incorporates a keypad and a liquid-crystal display. The display allows the user to monitor the sensor temperature, power output level, and menu settings. The integrated keypad accesses an easy-to-use menu system, allowing the user to adjust all of the basic controller parameters such as the set temperature, tuning parameters, and alarm parameters. The controller can also be connected to a computer via USB for more advanced program control as well as data graphing and data logging using the supplied software. The software is shipped as a stand-alone program, but the LabVIEW source code for that program (version 2018 and higher) is available upon request and a sample read and write command programmed in Python is also available for download.

TC-720 OEM

The TC-720 OEM is a basic version of the TC-720 controller that is a component for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) that want to integrate the controller in a system where the display, keypad, and box are not needed. The TC-720 is a Heat & Cool (Bipolar) control controller, and all programming and monitoring functions are accomplished via the on-board USB communications port. The controller is shipped as the basic control circuit mounted on an aluminum panel. One standard thermistor (model MP-3193) and a software CD are included. The software is shipped as a stand-alone program, but the LabVIEW source code (version 2018 and higher) is available upon request and a sample read and write command programmed in Python is also available for download.

TC-36-25-RS232

The TC-36-25 RS232 is a bi-polar (heat and cool) proportional-integral-derivative temperature controller that can modulate power input from 12 V up to 36 V, or from 0 V to 36 V with a second power supply, at currents of up to 25 A. The controller comes standard with a temperature sensor (thermistor), but it can also be used with common 10 k ohm thermistors. In addition, Windows-compatible software and an RS232 cable are provided for direct communication via the serial communication port. LabVIEW-based GUI available as a download, the LabVIEW source code is available free of charge upon request, and a sample read and write command programmed in Python is also available for download.

TC-36-25-RS232-UL

The TC-36-25-RS232-UL has the same features as the TC-36-25 RS232, including bi-polar (heat and cool) proportional-integral-derivative control that can modulate input voltages of up to 36 V at currents of up to 25 A. This version is CE marked and is MET-Labs listed, conforming to UL 60730-1. Due to listing requirements the controller does not come with a temperature sensor (thermistor) or RS232 cable, but these can be ordered separately. Windows-compatible, LabVIEW-based GUI software is available as a download, the LabVIEW source code is available free of charge upon request, and a sample read and write command programmed in Python is also available for download.

TC-36-25-RS485

The TC-36-25 RS485 is a bi-polar (heat and cool) proportional-integral-derivative temperature controller that can modulate power input from 12 V up to 36 V, or from 0 V to 36 V with a second power supply, at currents of up to 25 A. The controller comes standard with a temperature sensor (thermistor), but it can also be used with common 10 k ohm thermistors. Multiple controllers can be daisy-chained together and run off a single communication port using the optional RS485 Adapter (USB). Windows-compatible software is provided for easily programming the controller. The LabVIEW-based software is shipped as a stand-alone program, the LabVIEW source code (version 2011 and higher) is available free of charge upon request, and a sample read and write command programmed in Python is also available for download.

TC-24-10

The TC-24-10 is a RoHS compliant proportional-integral (PI) temperature controller developed for applications requiring a low cost, basic temperature controller. Set-point and tuning adjustments are made via potentiometer. It can modulate power from 9V up to 26 V at currents up to 10 A when using a single power supply. The controller can also modulate from 0 V up to 50 V when using two power supplies, making this a good choice for controlling low-voltage modules. As with all of our controllers, a standard temperature sensor (15K thermistor) is included.
