Ministat 100W Thermostat – ON / OFF

The Ministat 100W ON/OFF is a budget thermostat for keepers who want to regulate basking or substrate temperature in a reptile enclosure. It switches connected heat sources on and off around a set point between 19 and 35°C, and it can control several heaters at once as long as their combined power stays within 100 W.

Why it matters

• Wide set-point range: the 19–35°C range covers typical temperature requirements for many terrarium setups, from cooler zones to warmer basking areas.
• Compatibility with all heat source types: ON/OFF control works with heat mats, heat panels, heat lamps, radiant heaters and other heating elements, provided the total rated load is 100 W or less.
• Digital temperature reading: the unit processes readings from a waterproof sensor, so the temperature is monitored digitally rather than through a simple mechanical switch.
• Protected setting: the recessed adjustment knob makes it harder to change the set temperature by accident.

What it works with

The thermostat is intended for enclosures where one or more heating elements share a total load of up to 100 W, such as a heat mat with a heat lamp or a heat panel on its own. Because the output is rated at 100 W, check the combined wattage of everything plugged into it before setup. The waterproof sensor is designed to be placed in the enclosure, where it reads the temperature that controls the heaters.
