TC5 Benchtop Temperature Controller with
Built-in Power Supply
The Model TC5 Temperature Controller allows safe,
convenient operation of the thermoelectrically cooled detectors. The TC5 Controller
is easy to use. The built-in power supply accepts AC line voltage. Detector temperature is
set on the controller front panel, and a digital meter indicates current drawn by the
cooler. The current-overload feature protects the cooler from damage due to overheating;
cooler power is cut off if the cooler attempts to draw excess current (e.g. due to
improper heat sink, improper cooler input polarity, or defective thermistor.) The
controller's connector for thermistor input and cooler output mates to the HS1 Heat Sink
Assembly.
Key Features
- Proportional/Integral Temperature Control
- 30 Watt Capacity
- Temperature Select Front Panel
- Easy Connections to HS1 Heat Sink/Cable Assembly
- Built-in Power Supply
- Built-in Protection against TE cooler damage
- ±15V Output for Amplifier Circuit

TC8 Temperature Controller
The Model TC8 is a self-contained Temperature
Controller for use with the thermoelectric coolers. Using a single 5 Volt power
supply, the TC8 operates in conjunction with a thermistor, located in the detector
assembly, to precisely measure and regulate the temperature of the cooler detector. The
TC8 is also available with detector heat sink and optional hybrid amplifier in the CM21
and the CMAMP assemblies.

CMAMP Assembly
HS1
Assembly
A thermoelectrically cooled detector requires a
heat sink to dissipate the heat generated by the cooler, an amplifier to amplify
the detector signal to a usable level and a temperature controller to hold the
detector at a constant temperature. Judson TE cooler accessories are designed to
give solutions for these problems to our customers.
HS1 Assembly (Heat
Sink Assembly for TO-37, TO-66 and TO-3 Packages)
The HS1 series is designed to provide heat sinking and cabling to simplify integrating a
TE cooled detector into an existing system, and is designed to mate with either the TC-5
or TC-8 temperature controllers.
HSAMP Assembly (Heat Sink and
Amplifier Assy for TO-37, TO-66 and TO-3 Pkgs)
The HSAMP series is designed to provide both heat sinking and signal
amplification for our
TE cooled photovoltaic product line. This allows Judson to help a customer to choose the
best amplifier for a particular detector and system. The HSAMP includes a hybrid PA-5,
PA-6 or PA-7 preamplifier and is designed for easy connection to the customer's optical
system and the TC-8 Temperature Controller.
CM21 Assembly (Heat Sink and
TC8 Temperature Controller for
TO-37, TO-66 and TO-3 Pkgs)
The CM21 assembly is designed to provide heatsinking and temperature control for Judson's
TE cooled photoconductive and photovoltaic detector product line. It is designed to
simplify integrating a TE cooled detector into an exisiting system with a customer
supplied amplifier. The CM21 assembly is ideal for customers who have dsigned their own
amplifier for their system.
CMAMP Assembly
(Heat Sink
Amplifier and TC8 Temperature Controller for
TO-37, TO-66 and TO-3 Pkgs)
The CMAMP series is designed for customers that would like a fully integrated detector
module. It includes heatsinking, detector signal amplification and temperature control.
The CMAMP assembly requires an external power supply that provides both +5V @ 2.0 amperes
and ±15 volts at 100mA. The CMAMP assembly is an ideal platform for evaluating TE cooled
detectors for the first time. Custom mechanical assemblies including temperature control,
detector amplification and heat sinking are available on an OEM basis.
