No temperature sensor required, DC temperature controller with feedback function.
The Minco CT398 temperature controller uses the heater line (which employs materials with high TCR*) as a temperature sensor, allowing for regular temperature monitoring. This enables the measurement of the heater surface temperature without the need for an additional temperature sensor. The temperature is controlled by comparing the set temperature with the actual measured temperature, which adjusts the output power accordingly. The settings have been made easier through USB connection and a Windows application (internal settings can be rewritten via LED communication). - Sensorless heater control: Only heater line and power line connections are required. TCR* - The rate of change in resistance value when the temperature changes by 1°C.

Company information
Minko has been providing thermal solutions since its establishment in Minneapolis, USA, in 1956. Initially, the company focused on the design and assembly of precision electrical equipment, but it expanded its range of in-house developed products starting with wire-wound temperature sensors, followed by flexible heaters and flexible printed circuit boards. Today, it has evolved into providing heaters, sensors, flexible circuit boards, and integrated thermal solutions. Currently, over 600 employees work at five locations in the USA, France, Japan, China, and Singapore, where local application engineers directly assist customers. Additionally, manufacturing is conducted at three locations in the USA, France, and China, allowing for production in the most suitable location based on the project, ensuring prompt delivery of products.
