Temperature Controlled Soldering Iron
A soldering iron that’s ideally suited for use with this controller is available from Dick Smith Electronics (Cat T-2100). This circuit runs from a 12V battery or a mains-operated DC source. It works as follows: a DC-DC converter (IC1, Q1, D1, Q2, T1, D2, L1, etc) steps up the 12V DC input to about 16V. The higher voltage boosts the power to the iron and reduces warm-up time. This output voltage is applied to a resistance bridge in which the heating element of the iron forms one leg.

A degree of hysteresis built into the circuit makes the LED flicker between red and green while the iron is maintained at its preset temperature. Calibrate the circuit as follows: while the iron is still relatively cold, monitor the input voltage and current and adjust VR1 so that the input power (Volts x Amps) is about 50W. When you have done that, set VR4 to maximum and adjust VR2 so that the LED flickers between red and green when the iron has reached the desired maximum temperature.
Finally, set VR4 to mid-position and adjust VR3 so that the LED flickers when the iron reaches the desired mid-range operating temperature. As an example, you might choose to set the maximum temperature to about 400°C and the mid-range operating temperature to about 350°C. The overall temperature range, in that case, should be approximately 280°C to 400°C. Check that the calibration is correct and repeat the adjustment procedure if necessary. Use a temperature probe, preferably one designed especially for soldering irons, rather than guesswork, when making the adjustment.
- VR4 should have a logarithmic taper to compensate for non-linearity in the temperature-resistance characteristic of the soldering iron.

Electronic Temperature Controlled Relay
This temperature controlled relay circuit is a simple yet highly accurate thermal control circuit which can be used in applications where automatic temperature control is needed. The circuit switches a miniature relay ON or OFF according to the temperature detected by the single chip temperature sensor LM35DZ.
When the LM35DZ detects a temperature higher than the preset level (set by VR1), the relay is actuated. When the temperature falls below the preset temperature, relay is de-energized. The circuit can be powered by any DC 12V supply or battery (100mA min.)
Electronic Temperature-Controlled Relay Schematic
How it works?
The heart of the circuit is the LM35DZ temperature sensor which is factory-calibrated in the Celsius (or Centigrade) scale with a linear Degree->Volt conversion function. The output voltage (at pin 2) changes linearly with temperature from 0V (0oC) to 1000mV (100oC).
The preset (VR1) & resistor (R3) from a variable voltage divider which sets a reference voltage (Vref) form 0V ~ 1.62V. The op-amp (A2) buffers the reference voltage so as to avoid loading the divider network (VR1 & R3). The comparator (A1) compares the reference voltage Vref (set by VR1) with the output voltage of LM35DZ and decides whether to energize or de-energize the relay (LED1 ON or OFF respectively).
