Thorlabs Profile TE 8030 TED Controller Module QTY 1

The Thorlabs TE 8030 is a high-precision thermoelectric device (TED) controller module engineered for accurate temperature stabilization of optical and electronic components. This plug-in module integrates into the Thorlabs PRO8 Series Chassis and delivers closed-loop temperature control via a full PID feedback loop with independent P, I, and D settings. The controller maintains temperature stability better than ±0.002 °C (typically ±0.001 °C with AD590 sensors) across a wide operating range.

Technical Specifications

• Temperature control range: −12.375 to 90.000 °C (with semiconductor sensor); 5 Ω to 20 kΩ and 50 Ω to 200 kΩ (with thermistor, in two ranges)


• Temperature stability: Better than ±0.002 °C; typically ±0.001 °C with AD590 sensor


• TEC current ranges: ±2 A at 16 W, ±4 A at 32 W, ±8 A at 64 W


• Output: Low-noise bipolar


• Supported sensors: Thermistors, AD590, AD592, LM335; Pt 100 and Pt 1000 available upon request


• Form factor: Plug-in module for PRO8 Series Chassis (8-slot PRO8000 is 19" rack-mountable)

Key Features

• Full PID control loop with adjustable P, I, and D parameters for system optimization


• Adjustable TEC current limiting at hardware and software levels to protect TEC elements


• Protection against sensor failure, open TEC connections, and cable damage


• Remote control capability via IEEE 488.2 and RS232 when integrated into PRO8 chassis

Typical Applications Temperature stabilization for laser diodes, optical detectors, precision amplifiers, and other thermally sensitive components requiring sub-millidegree accuracy.

Compatibility & Integration Designed exclusively for Thorlabs PRO8 Series Chassis. Integrates with compatible TEC elements and can operate alongside LDC8000 Laser Diode Current Controller Modules within the same chassis platform.
