Ranco C12-5010 Temperature Control
The Ranco C12-5010 Temperature Control is a heavy-duty, single-stage SPDT mechanical thermostat designed for precision cycling in PTAC units, through-the-wall air conditioners, and packaged terminal systems. Engineered to replace a wide variety of OEM room air conditioner controls, this unit facilitates reliable on/off compressor regulation across a 60°F to 98°F temperature range. It features a 36-inch capillary tube with a 3/8" x 9" sensing bulb, utilizing a laser-welded stainless steel element for maximum sensitivity and response. With a 3°F fixed differential, the C12-5010 ensures tight environmental control, preventing short-cycling while maintaining consistent comfort levels. Built for versatile field installation, this line voltage thermostat handles up to 20A at 240V AC, making it a robust choice for technicians servicing residential and commercial HVAC units. Whether you are performing a retro-fit or a direct component swap, this Ranco heat/cool control provides the electrical switching reliability required for high-demand compressor duty.
