WTC32ND TEC Temperature Controllers

DIP PCB;2,2 A;9 W

Output Current TEC ±2.5, ±5, ±10 A; Chassis Mount; Supply Voltage 5-30 VDC; USB Communication Interface Optional; Temperature Stability 0.0012°CWavelength Electronics’ PTCxK-CH series of module type chassis mount TEC temperature controllers delivers the precision performance and long-term reliability you expect from a Wavelength Electronics temperature controller. The CE certified PTCxK-CH drivers are available in five different models with output currents ranging from 2.5 to 10 A (or 20 A for PTC10K-CH combined with PTC10K-SL), so you can choose the one that best suits your application The PTCxK-CH series drivers operate from a single power supply between 4.5 V and 30 V. The linear bipolar controller drives a Peltier thermoelectric cooler or a resistive heater, and the chassis-mount package integrates easily into OEM applications. PTCxK-CH drivers interface with a variety of temperature sensors, and the bias current is adjustable in order to maximize controller sensitivity and stability for your application. The compact chassis-mount design simplifies heat sinking and requires minimal space. PTCxK-CH controllers are quick to configure for your prototype project, and there are no surprises when it’s time to integrate the controller into the final design. Remote computer control is available using the USBKIT, which also allows graphing and datalogging. When controlling laser diode temperature, the LDMOUNT-5A, a 14-pin butterfly laser diode mount with integrated heat sinking, is available for simple connections between the PTCxK-CH and the laser. If you are using a quantum cascade laser or need low noise performance with a laser diode, Wavelength Electronics offers the PTCxK-CH nested in the QCL OEM drivers. For more information download the QCLxPTCx series data sheet. An on-board trimpot is used to set the output current limit to prevent over-driving the TEC and helps protect your load from thermal runaway situations. Proportional gain is easily adjusted with an on-board trimpot. Low temperature coefficient design remains stable across a wide range of ambient conditions. When used with Wavelength’s laser drivers, such as the PLD Series, these TEC temperature controllers provide stable and reliable performance that sets your system apart from your competitors’ and keeps your customers satisfied.
