Announcing change to product line: Most of the 5C7 Series of temperature controllers are being replaced by newer models (including new RoHS compliant units) and others are simply discontinued. Please check with us on availability of these or similar, newer units.

We provide low cost Proportional DC and Thermoelectric Module (TE, TEC, Peltier Module) controllers, and controllers for AC devices. Use our Descriptive Index to see all of our most popular controllers. Over 40 years of excellent service to the OEM industry.

New! Kilowatts of power for Peltier Module arrays providing 9 to 28 vdc and up to 25 amperes of temperature control from the Client and each Server temperature controller - that is up to 700 watts from each controller. The Model 5C7-582 Temperature Controller ($379, 36V max, 25A max, 1KW max) can be used alone, or it can be used as a Server to the Model 5R7-583 Client Temperature Controllers ($250, 28V max, 25A max, 700W max each) to provide a tremendous amount of combined power for heating and/or cooling. Single control sensor. Multiple monitoring sensors. The 57-582 can also be used with the Model 5C7-584 Display (front panel PCB, $125) No web page at this time. Inquire.

New, $150 bipolar 5R7-570 temperature controller is for peltier modules (TECs). This works over 2 temperature ranges. It has an optional remote set pot or a digital display/set front panel (shown with optional label). The controller will automatically switch between heating and cooling modes as needed.

The benchtop 5C7-195 temperature controller is the easiest way to get started with peltier modules (TECs), or VDC heaters. At only $795, this controller works over 4 temperature ranges and also has a digital, adjustable voltage range. Primarily developed to help our customers define their OEM requirements, it's small size of approximately 8" X 7" X 2.5" and the front panel controls help to make this controller suitable for many applications, and it is convenient for becoming familiar with peltier modules, university courses, and R&D.

Connect these 5C7 series temperature controllers to a PC for Data Acquisition (DAQ), as Automated Test Equipment (ATE) with a Test Executive, or for custom computer control of DC, AC, or TEC. Open frame. Most of these controllers are being replaced by newer models (including new RoHS compliant units) and others are simply discontinued. Please check with us on availability of these or similar, newer units.

Our low cost DC heater controller or TEC controller (TECC). The "A" version can be used in a circuit that uses switches or relays to change between 2 or more temperatures.

World class OEM style temperature controllers for AC.

Our Expanding Line of Digital Temperature Controllers for Thermoelectric Devices, Fans and Resistive Heaters ...

Our decades of experience in building Pulse Width Modulated temperature controllers has resulted in new, state-of-the-art, digital controllers for heaters and coolers that run on a DC voltage. The addition of our proportional control setting makes these controllers superior to simple bang-bang controllers (On/Off, which is an optional setting) so that you now have safe, efficient, and reliable control for peltier modules and other DC devices.

We were one of the first to supply low cost, PC compatible, and also custom TEC controllers (TECC) for thermoelectric devices, and have been doing so since 1999.

Compared to analog controllers, these digital controllers offer lower heat dissipation and lower prices. Our PC compatible versions are rich in features that can be accessed through our setup program, or your own custom program.

With the PC programmable controllers, we provide unique extras so that you can have your first controller up and running fast.

All controllers can be customized and custom built.

Temperature Controllers

Innovative and Cost Effective Customization...

Start R&D with our standard controllers. High powered and feature rich, they will help you define your requirements.

Unlimited Potential

Quality Custom Solutions and Outsourcing: If you are building a controller into a product, customization is the key to lower cost and a controller that has the "perfect fit".

Save money on volume orders by having a controller designed to your specifications. Use different Thermistors, Platinum RTD, Thermocouples or Temperature Transmitters. Use communications of your choice. Customize the circuit board and then go to SMT. Build for UL approval, certified medical, military spec, etc.

Fast Track your OEM Product

Give your design cycle a kick start . . . our expert advice can save you time and effort in helping to determine an effective thermal system.
