Anybody know what going on at Minco. My part went from 8 weeks to 26 weeks.

Maybe they are greening out.

Their deliveries have always been slow and erratic. Not to mention expensive. There are wire-in-silicone heaters that are a lot cheaper and easier to get.

I like the simple Heaterstat for many apps.

I found a new inexpensive heater controller, but I am still trying to find a small sensor to replace a larger sensor. Its an uncommon 1K thermister. I can't match up the scales using the smaller thermister. I'm still thinking. An on/off controller works in many applications and a PID controller is not always necessary. Well the $50 controller I found is much cheaper than most PID's and still has a digital readout. The thing I have to do is convert the on/off output to a slow analog output to get rid of any switching noise. Some controllers have analog out, but they still are too expensive.
