X-Meritan manufactures TCB-SS Temperature Controller with Ultra-Compact Size and Designed for Micro TECs applications where board space, temperature stability, and controlled TEC output need to be considered together. The TCB-SS integrates temperature sensing and TEC driving on a small control board, allowing a Micro TEC to be regulated through a feedback-based temperature control loop.
The controller is designed around a compact board format rather than a general-purpose temperature control architecture. It uses a 10K NTC sensor as the default temperature sensing input and supports a default TEC voltage of 4.5V with a maximum TEC current of 3A, making the board suitable for miniature thermal management systems.

10K NTC detects temperature changes and sends the signal to the controller.
The controller compares the measured temperature with the target value and regulates the Micro TEC output through PID control.
Continuous output adjusts the TEC drive during operation instead of relying only on simple on/off switching.
Measuring 4 cm × 4 cm × 1.28 cm, the TCB-SS Temperature Controller with Ultra-Compact Size and Designed for Micro TECs is designed for Micro TEC systems with limited installation space.
The controller provides 0.01°C temperature control accuracy and 0.01°C set temperature accuracy for precise thermal regulation.
With output efficiency above 94%, the controller provides efficient TEC driving in compact temperature control systems.
The default TEC voltage is 4.5V, with a maximum TEC current of 3A, for compatible Micro TEC applications.
The default sensor is a 10K NTC with a B-value of 3950, providing temperature feedback for the control loop.
The temperature control measurement range is -60°C to +170°C, while the specified control temperature range is -20°C to +100°C.
Built-in functions include overcurrent, overvoltage, temperature limiting, and TEC open/short circuit detection to monitor the controller and connected TEC during operation.
