TEC1 12706 Peltier Module

TEC1 12706 Peltier Module

The TEC1-12706 6A Thermoelectric Cooler Peltier Module is the simple application of the Peltier Thermoelectric Effect. The Peltier 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 or 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 CPUs, CCDs, portable refrigerators, medical instruments, and so on.

Tips:

• Operating Temperature: 138 Degree C.
• Do not exceed Imax or Vmax when operating a module.
• Please carry out moisture protection options (sealing) in final application use.
• Life expectancy: 200,000 hours.
• Failure rate based on long-time testing: 0.2%.
