LM26CIM5-SPA

Temperature Sensors - Thermostats - Solid State

The LM26CIM5-SPA is a solid-state thermostat based on a wide temperature range of up to 150°C. Its design utilizes a unique combination of electronic control elements and thermoelectric sensing devices, with a 5-pin header configuration for interconnections. This means it can be connected directly to appliance and equipment boards, and will offer accurate and reliable control of temperature ranges.

Design and Functionality

The design of the LM26CIM5-SPA includes a conductive thermal path for increased accuracy and response time when controlling temperatures. The thermoelectric sensing device utilizes Peltier effect technology, which senses temperature using an approximate range of 0-150°C. The electronic elements of the thermostat consist of a simpler structure than some other models, but offer enhanced precision and reliability. Its five-pin header helps facilitate quick and easy connections to other circuitry and components, reducing application complexity.

Applications

The LM26CIM5-SPA is designed to be used in a variety of applications, including:

• Automotive heating and cooling systems
• Industrial climate control systems, such as HVAC
• Industrial heating and cooling systems
• Commercial heating and cooling systems
• Industrial ovens and furnaces
• Electronic devices such as computers

Working Principle

When temperature extremes occur, the thermoelectric sensing element will detect the changes by producing a voltage differential between two electrodes. This voltage is fed to an internal electronic control circuit, which triggers a sequence of events to engage the appropriate heating or cooling device. This response time is enhanced by the conductive thermal path of the LM26CIM5-SPA, allowing properly configured devices to respond quicker than with standard models.

In addition, the LM26CIM5-SPA can monitor temperatures over a wide range, allowing it to be used in applications where precise temperature control is needed. An additional benefit of this thermoelectric technology is it does not require oxygen to function, and therefore offers reliable and accurate temperature control across a wide range of atmospheric conditions.

Conclusion

The LM26CIM5-SPA is a durable and reliable solid-state thermostat offering temperature control over a wide range of temperatures. Its design implements thermoelectric technology and electronic controls to provide a unique combination of accuracy and faster response time when controlling temperatures. This makes it an ideal choice for automotive heating and cooling, HVAC units, industrial ovens, commercial applications, and other devices requiring temperature regulation.
