- Thermoelectric Peltier cooler or generator TEC1-12706
- Create a temperature differential on each side
- One side gets hot and the other side gets cool
- Designed for cooling and heating up to 90 degree Celsius applications
TEC1 12706 Peltier Module
The TEC1 12706 40×40 mm Thermoelectric Cooler 6A Peltier Module is the simple application of the Peltier Thermoelectric Effect. The module features 127 semiconductor couples in the area of 40 x 40mm which very effectively cools and heats up to 90°C.
The thermoelectric cooler is also known as TEC or Peltier module creates a temperature differential on each side. One side gets hot and the other side gets cool. They use to either warm something up or cool something down; above all, you can use either side. You can also take advantage of a temperature differential to generate electricity.
A thermoelectric cooler (TEC) module is a semiconductor-based electronic component that functions as a small heat pump. By applying the DC power source to a TEC, heat will be transferred from one side of the module to the other. It creates a cold and hot side. They are widely useful in industrial areas, for example, computer CPU, CCDs, portable refrigerators, medical instruments, and so on.

Which is the hot side of a Peltier?
Place the module on a flat surface so that the wires are pointing towards you with the positive (red) wire on the left hand side and the negative (black) wire on the right hand side. In this orientation the cold side will be facing down and the hot side will be facing up towards you.
