As of August 2018 the State of California has changed the requirements of the “Prop 65” law. We now must list on our website any possible chemicals the can cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive problem.
As an example: ABS plastic contains styrene PVC wire insulation can contain Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) electrolytic capacitors can contain Ethylene glycol Brass can contain Lead flame retardant pc boards can contain Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) Aluminum alloys can contain Chromium To put it simply we are a small company and do not have the resources to test every single part, so we list every thing as hazardous. Please recycle all electronic parts responsibly and under no circumstance eat, drink or smoke these parts and wash your hands after touching! |

Excellent Temperature Control | |
| I purchased this to replace the old mechanical temp control on an old Sunbeam water cooler for which factory parts are NLA from anywhere. This thermostat requires an external power supply. One of the nice things about it is the wide range of D.C. supply voltages it can accept. I used the 15 volt MPJA supply No. 36675PS. In the cooler the water reservoir is wrapped in a styrofoam insulator. I slid the sleeve off and placed the temp sensor against the side of the reservoir about 1/2 inch above the cooling coils. I used heat transfer paste (like what you use between computer CPUs and their heat sinks), with aluminum HVAC tape to hold it tight against the reservoir, and then slid the insulator sleeve back into place over the reservoir and probe. I would recommend heat transfer paste in any application where the probe relies on direct hard-surface contact to sense temperature. Besides the power supply connections, the leads that connected to the old thermostat now connect to the built-in relay contact terminals. For heavier amperage loads than what is specified for the relay contacts, this could/should be used to power an intermediate relay. I am running the hot lead for the cooler's compressor directly through the built-in relay since the running load of the compressor is less than half of the realay contacts limits. So far this appears to be an excellent single-probe, single-zone temp controller. Having a Fahrenheit setting would be nice, but all I need it for is to keep the water just above freezing, which is zero degrees Fahrenheit. | ||
