Due to the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in China, orders supplied by DFRobot, ElecFreaks, Elecrow and Waveshare may take longer than usual. Items already available in our Sydney warehouse are unaffected.
This 12V precision temperature controller is a compact, panel‑mount thermostat module that measures temperature using the included waterproof 10K NTC probe and switches a connected load via its built‑in 10A relay. It’s ideal when you need simple on/off control of a heater or cooler (not PID), with a clear 3‑digit LED readout for live temperature and set‑point programming.
The relay is normally open and closes when the measured temperature rises above the set point, then re‑opens 2°C below the set point (fixed hysteresis). That behaviour makes it well‑suited to over‑temperature cut‑in/venting, fan control, or basic heating control where a small deadband is acceptable and you want to avoid relay chatter.
Compatibility notes: it requires a 12V DC supply (not AC, not 5V), and the relay is a simple on/off switch rated up to 10A—appropriate for low‑voltage DC loads and many mains loads if correctly wired and safely enclosed, but it’s not designed for high inrush/inductive loads without additional protection. The included sensor is an NTC 10K (0.5%) probe; if you replace it, you’ll want the same type/value to maintain correct readings.
Practical uses include fermentation/fridge fan control, terrariums/incubators, small heated enclosures (including 3D printer enclosures), and general temperature monitoring with automatic switching. If you need tighter control (minimising overshoot) or ramp/soak profiles, a PID controller would be a better fit; if you just need straightforward threshold switching, this module is the simpler/cheaper option.

This compact 12V temperature controller features a 3-digit LED display for setting and monitoring temperature, along with a built-in 10A relay for switching heating or cooling loads. It uses an NTC thermistor probe (included) for measurement across a wide range of −50 to 110°C.
The relay operates as normally open and closes when the measured temperature rises above the set point. It re-opens once the temperature falls 2°C below the set point, providing built-in hysteresis to prevent rapid relay cycling.
