Thorlabs Expands Line of OEM Temperature Controllers

ImageDescription

Newton, NJ – September 1, 2017 – Thorlabs has announced the release of a new OEM-grade TEC driver for stable temperature control, the MTD1020T. This completely integrated digital temperature controller module can provide output currents up to ±2 A and support a maximum TEC compliance voltage of 10 V. Incorporating a true bipolar 20 W power stage and digital PID temperature control loop, this controller enables high efficiency and fast, reliable temperature control. A digital UART/RS232-compatible programming interface allows quick and seamless access to the internal control settings.

The MTD1020T TEC driver supports the widely used industry-standard 10 kO NTC thermistors; along with the internal analog filter and amplification circuit, high precision temperature stabilization down to 10 mK is achieved over 8 hours.

Measuring just 21.0 mm x 27.0 mm x 10.3 mm (16.0 mm with the pins), the low-profile 16-pin MTD1020T controller is housed in a through-hole technology (THT) package with a topside-integrated heat sink for excellent thermal performance. The device operates in ambient temperatures ranging from -20 oC to 60 oC.

"We are excited to add the MTD1020T controller to Thorlabs' expanding line of OEM temperature controllers, which also includes our miniature temperature controllers in SMD packages," noted Frank Albrecht, the Product Line Manager for Thorlabs' OEM Temperature Controllers. "Among the many products where these OEM temperature controllers are providing temperature regulation is our own nanosecond pulsed laser systems."

Per piece pricing is available on our website. Upon request, Thorlabs can deliver customized versions of this controller in high quantities, with short lead times, and packaged in production-capable IC tubes.
