Hello all,

I am very new to electronics and need to build a simple 12V dc
circuit, which will keep a heater mat at a fixed temperature... ie
switch it on and off depending on tempterature. I guess I need a
device that measures the temperature and opens a switch when that
temperature is reached. Is there an electronic device that will do
that?

Thanks
Alex


The simplest way may be to get a heating pad and use its electronics to
control your mat. As long as the heating pad uses a simple on/off series
switch to control the temperature then it should work.
