Thorlabs' Liquid-Cooled Breadboards are versions of our anodized aluminum breadboards that have been plumbed to accept a water or coolant supply. They feature a standard 1" (25 mm) hole pattern and are ideal for applications involving sensors, detectors, lasers, LEDs, or other apparatuses that may require temperature stabilization. These boards can be used in applications requiring cooling or heating.

Each breadboard has two fittings that accept tubing with 1/4" (6 mm) outer diameter. These fittings allow for easy connection to a water or coolant supply such as our LK220 liquid chiller. 16' (5 m) of polyurethane connection tubing is included with each breadboard and can be trimmed to suit the particular application. To do so, simply cut the tubing to the required length, trim the tubing edges flush, insert the tubing into the push-to-fit connectors, and connect the other end to your water supply/chiller unit. We offer separate polyurethane hoses with 11/64" inner diameter (ID) and 1/4" outer diameter (OD), or with 1/4" ID and 3/8" OD. Coupling inserts and bodies for both sizes are available for connecting between these hoses, including coupling between the two sizes.

Depending on the environmental temperature and humidity levels and the temperature of the board, condensation can form on the breadboard surface. Please see Table 1.2 for guidelines on how this can be avoided.

Table 1.2 Operating Temperature and Condensation^a
Relative Air Humidity (RH%)	T_env - T_plate (ΔT °C)	Relative Air Humidity (RH%)	T_env - T_plate (ΔT °C)
95%	1 °C	55%	9 - 12 °C
90%	2 °C	50%	10 - 13 °C
85%	2 - 3 °C	45%	12 - 14 °C
80%	3 - 4 °C	40%	13 - 17 °C
75%	4 - 5 °C	35%	16 - 19 °C
70%	5 - 6 °C	30%	18 - 21 °C
65%	6 - 8 °C	25%	21 - 23 °C
60%	7 - 9 °C	20%	24 - 27 °C

Due to the humidity of the work area, and the difference between the operating temperature of the board and the environmental temperature levels, there is a possibility that condensation may form on the breadboard surface. This table shows the approximate temperature difference between the breadboard and the environment that would cause condensation to form at a specific relative humidity.

Each breadboard features four or five mounting holes, offset from the array of 1/4"-20 (M6) threaded holes, which are counterbored to create an uninterrupted surface for any intended application. The four standard mounting holes are located at each corner of the breadboard, inset 2" (50 mm) from each edge. The larger breadboards (imperial boards 18" or wider and metric boards 450 mm or wider) have a fifth counterbored mounting hole at their center. Utilizing the center mounting hole increases the number of mounting options available, reduces stress at the corner mounting holes, and increases rigidity when heavy loads are placed on the boards. The mounting holes may be used to attach the breadboards to optical tables, other breadboards, mounting posts, brackets, or a variety of other surfaces or mounts.

Other Breadboard Options
Thorlabs offers a variety of other breadboards, including damped honeycomb optical breadboards for applications sensitive to vibrations, solid aluminum breadboards with 1" (25 mm) or 1/2" (12.7 mm) hole spacings, and high-density optical breadboards compatible with our mini-series optomechanics. Please see the BB Selection Guide tab for our full range of breadboards.

For other cooled breadboard options, including temperature-controlled mini-series breadboards with internal thermoelectric cooling, see the Cooled BB Selection Guide tab.

Optical Breadboard Enclosures are available to protect sensitive equipment from dust, stray light, acoustic noise, and thermal variations. Enclosures are offered completely sealed or with sliding door access.

HI, We are interested in water cooled breadboards. We have a project requiring heat dissipation from an RF antenna array. Are there any estimates for thermal resistance of the breadboard to assist selection?

spolineni (posted 2025-02-24 07:22:36.0)

Thank you for reaching out. I will personally get in touch with you to discuss your requirements for water-cooled breadboards and assist with the necessary information to support your selection.

Joshua Dawes (posted 2024-05-13 15:33:27.803)

Hello! Does this come in a plain aluminum version for better thermal contact? If not, would you have any issues with my team skimming off .030-.050" of material to remove the finish? Thank you

cstroud (posted 2024-05-21 11:57:38.0)

Thanks for reaching out. We are able to provide un-anodised versions of the water-cooled breadboards. I will contact you directly to discuss this further.

Philipp K (posted 2023-03-08 12:54:44.293)

Hi, is it possbile to change the position of the fittings? E.g. by swapping a plug with a fitting? Best regards

fguzman (posted 2023-03-08 11:41:41.0)

Unfortunately this is not possible, as each breadboard has a specific internal configuration to help obtain an even flow and cooling along its volume.

Andrew Chuang (posted 2022-11-10 15:16:45.283)

Can you make smaller water-cooled breadboard? like 4"x6" or similar? WCP4X6 product line is too thick (22mm) and doesn't have enough mounting hole on the bottom side.

ksosnowski (posted 2022-11-17 12:06:13.0)

Thanks for reaching out to Thorlabs. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any custom water cooled breadboards at this time. I have reached out directly for more details about your ideal application so we can consider this for further developments.

Mikkel Bregnhøj (posted 2021-03-23 05:37:51.957)

Dear Thorlabs Would you consider to also manufacture these watercooled breadboards in smaller sizes? For example, 10x10 or 10x15 cm would be very useful. Kind regards //Mikkel Bregnhøj

cwright (posted 2021-03-23 09:09:07.0)

Response from Charles at Thorlabs: Hello Mikkel and thank you for your feedback. It is always good for us to hear the needs of our customers directly and we will take this into consideration for future product reviews.

jens.kiessling (posted 2016-04-29 08:44:22.3)

Dear Thorlabs team, which cooling liquid do you recommend for these breadboards? Where can we get it in Germany? Distilled water is getting dark very fast when used in these breadboards, possibly corrosion?

msoulby (posted 2016-04-29 08:44:05.0)

Response from Mike at Thorlabs: The water could be becoming coloured due to residue left from the machining process so it may be worth flushing the breadboard before using again. We do not have an special requirements for the water used in the water cooled breadboards as aluminium is typically resistant to corrosion, however non-chlorinated water would be best.

makarov (posted 2014-08-18 17:11:40.337)

What's the thread behind the water connectors, and what is the bore diameter of the channels? We are thinking of using it with different connectors.

msoulby (posted 2014-08-22 05:21:01.0)

Response from Mike at Thorlabs: The tapped thread size is 1/8 BSPT with a thread depth of 13.0mm

bdada (posted 2011-12-07 12:44:00.0)

Response from Buki at Thorlabs: We are looking into your request for a larger water cooled breadboard and will contact you directly with more information. Please contact TechSupport@thorlabs.com if you have any questions.

5 m Long Polyurethane Hoses Available in Two Sizes:
- 1/4" Outer Diameter and 11/64" Inner Diameter
- 3/8" Outer Diameter and 1/4" Inner Diameter
Natural White Acetal Coupling Fittings and Inserts with BUNA-N Seals
Can Withstand 120 psi of Pressure

Thorlabs offers various polyurethane hoses and coupling inserts that allow for easy connection to a water or coolant supply. All items can withstand up to 120 psi of pressure and can be used with water, ethanol-based coolants, or any glycol-based coolant, such as our CDTX Coolant.

The 5 m Long Polyurethane (PU) Hoses have an inner diameter (ID) of 11/64" or 1/4" and outer diameter (OD) of 1/4" or 3/8". These hoses can be used in temperatures from -15 to 60 °C. These hoses are intended to be used alongside our in-line 1/4” OD or 3/8” OD coupling inserts and bodies.

The inserts have male connection ports, while the bodies have female connectors with a self-lock structure for secure connection. Inserts and bodies are intended to be used in pairs, as any coupling insert can mate with any coupling body. The QVF6 coupling body and QVM6 coupling insert can support HPU6 tubing with a 11/64" ID and 1/4" OD, while the QVF9 coupling insert and QVM9 coupling body can support HPU9 tubing with a 1/4" ID and 3/8" OD.

The HPU6 1/4" OD hose is directly compatible with our Liquid-Cooled Breadboards, while the HPU9 3/8" OD hose can be adapted to be compatible using a QVF6 insert and a QVM9 body, or a QVF9 insert and a QVM6 body.

The hoses, inserts, and bodies can be used for quick connections to a variety of other Thorlabs catalog items, including our LK220 Liquid Chiller, Liquid-Cooled Cold Plates, Spatial Light Modulators, and Liquid-Cooled HHL Laser Mount. The inserts and bodies can be used to convert from 1/4" ID to 11/64" ID hose for any application.
