mCTRL-T-20-12/55 mini TEC Controller

Product information "mCTRL-T-20-12/55 mini TEC Controller"

Max. Output Current TEC 20 A; Chassis Mount; Supply Voltage 12-55 VDC; Temperature Stability <0.1°C; H-Bridge Control; Temperature Regulation PID or ON/OFF

AMS Technologies‘ mCTRL-T-20-12/55 mini TEC controller uses an electrical H-bridge to drive thermoelectric coolers (TECs) / Peltier elements with broadly variable voltages und currents of up to 10 A, or up to 20 A using a heat sink. An auxiliary temperature sensor (RTD such as Pt100, Pt1000, or thermistor) can be connected to allow highly accurate temperature control within less than ±0.1°C.

The user can select a set temperature between -100°C and +100°C via analog interfaces such as 0-5 V or 4-20 mA, or digital interfaces like RS232 (serial) or WiFi. The layout of the board allows to separate the graphic OLED display, including the device’s three control buttons, enabling OEMs to separate this display/control unit from the main board and connect it to the main board via ribbon cable.

1,5A Temp Controller 0,003°C temperature stability PID1500
The robust circuitry of the PID1500 achieves 0.003°C temperature stability. Onboard controls make this package plug and play. The linear, PI control loop offers maximum stability while the bipolar current source has been designed for higher efficiency. The PID1500 drives up to 1.5 A for either Thermoelectrics (bipolar) or Resistive Heaters (unipolar). An evaluation board simplifies prototyping: PIDEVALPCB. Heatsinking is already provided to support operation across a -20°C to +85°C operating range. The PID1500 temperature controller is easily configured for any design. Virtually any type of temperature sensor can be used with the PID1500 and a built in switchable sensor bias current source simplifies use with resistive temperature sensors. The Proportional Gain (P) is adjustable with an onboard single turn trimpot. Use an onboard trimpot to adjust the setpoint or the Analog Input pin for  remote control. Use another onboard trimpot to set the maximum output current to the load or set it with a resistor between pins 1 & 2. A switch between those pins acts as a remote enable / disable. Remove a jumper to operate resistive heaters with a unipolar output current. Two monitor pins provide access to the temperature setpoint voltage and the actual sensor voltage.The PID1500 has proven reliable in such diverse fields as spectroscopy, defense, and medical research. Key Features Single supply operation: +5 V to +12 V Up to 1.5 A output current available < 0.005°C stability (24-hour) Adjustable current limit Remote Analog Input to adjust Temperature Setpoint Supports Thermistors, IC Sensors, or RTDs Temperature Setpoint, Proportional Gain, and Current Limit are user adjustable Remotely Enable/Disable output Can be wired for Resistive Heater control
