TC Direct is the dedicated distribution division of TC Ltd, supplying high-quality temperature measurement products direct from stock. Since 1973, engineers, technicians and maintenance teams have relied on us for fast access to the widest range of temperature sensors and accessories on the market.
In the UK, we provide next-day delivery on most of our extensive range of products, supported by local expertise and the technical know-how of TC Ltd.
Who We Are
TC Ltd was formed over fifty years ago with a clear objective: to make temperature sensing products easier to buy quickly, reliably, and at a fair price.
As our original industry-standard wallcharts became a familiar sight in workshops, factories and engineering offices, we saw a growing need for a faster, off-the-shelf way to purchase commonly used temperature products. TC Direct was created to meet that need: a dedicated distribution division offering a comprehensive ex-stock range of the most widely used thermocouples, RTDs, thermocouple cables, thermocouple connectors and accessories - all available for immediate delivery.
Over the last three decades, TC Direct has grown into a trusted service in its own right, combining the speed and convenience of e-commerce with the technical credibility and manufacturing expertise of TC Ltd.
Even though we supply from stock, everything we offer is shaped by more than 50 years of sensor design, engineering and temperature-measurement expertise.
