Watlow DIN-A-MITE Power Controller

The Watlow DIN-A-MITE power controller includes SCR control, heat sink, wiring, and a touch-safe exterior all in one package. By designing the DIN-A-MITE controller as a total unit, you will no longer need to prep wires for terminals or find the heat sink for rated amperage to determine adequate terminations. The DIN-A-MITE Controller is a complete package you can install and forget - everything is already done for you.

The DIN-A-MITE A power switching device controller is designed and manufactured with quality features expected from Watlow. DIN-A-MITE A capabilities include single-phase zero-cross switching up to 25 amperes at 600VAC (see rating curve). A unique integrated design removes the guesswork associated with selecting a proper heat sink and adequate terminations for the application. DIN-rail and back panel mounting is standard on this family of power switching devices. The DIN-A-MITE is also mercury free.

The DIN-A-MITE B is a low-cost, highly compact and versatile solid state electric heat controller. The DIN-A-MITE B capabilities include single-phase and three-phase zero-cross switching up to 40 and 22 amperes, respectively at 600VAC (see rating curve). This electric heat controller's design includes proper heat sinking and terminations simplifying integration into applications. DIN-rail and back panel mounting is standard on this electric heat controller. The DIN-A-MITE controller is also mercury free.

The DIN-A-MITE C silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller provides a low cost, compact and versatile solid state controller option for controlling electric heat. This solid state controller is designed and manufactured with the quality features expected from Watlow. DIN-rail and standard panel mounting plus a cabinet thru-wall mount version are available. Basic features of the solid state controller include single-phase, three-phase/two leg, and three-phase/three leg, 24-600VAC operation. Current switching capabilities range from 30 to 80A depending on the model ordered.

The DIN-A-MITE D silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller provides an inexpensive, versatile product for controlling heat in an efficient package. This SCR controller is designed and manufactured with the quality features expected from Watlow. The back panel mounting matches the footprint of the industry standard mercury displacement relay. There is no need to worry about mercury; the DIN-A-MITE controller is mercury free. The DIN-A-MITE Style D is capable of zero-cross switching up to 100 amperes single-phase, at 600VAC at 86°F (30°C), depending on the model selected. Two or three controllers used together can control three-phase. It is totally touch-safe and includes standard back panel mounting, on-board semiconductor fuses (accessible from the front) and a current transformer option for external load current monitoring. An optional "shorted SCR detector" feature is available on some models. This model is UL®508 listed and C-UL®and CE certified. These agency approvals are ideal for those panel builders that require agency approvals on their panels and cabinets.

Additional features of the DIN-A-MITE Controller include:

• Easy, Fast Installation
