TEC1 12706 40x40mm Thermoelectric Cooler 6A Peltier Module

You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for a product to help cool down your electronic equipment or DIY project. The Peltier Thermoelectric Effect is applied simply in the TEC1 12706 40x40mm Thermoelectric Cooler 6A Peltier Module. With a surface area of 40 x 40 mm, the module’s 127 semiconductor couplings efficiently heat and cool to 90°C.

Another name for thermoelectric coolers is Peltier or TEC. The module modifies the temperature on each side. When one side heats up, the other side cools down. Above all, you can use either side. They are used to either heat or chill things. A temperature differential can also be used to your advantage to produce electricity.

An electronic component based on semiconductors that performs the role of a tiny heat pump is called a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) module. Heat will be transported from one side of the module to the other by applying the DC power supply to a TEC. It produces hot and cold sides. They are extensively utilised in industrial settings, such as CCDs, portable refrigerators, medical equipment, computer CPUs, and so on.

Operational Advice:

• Operating Temperature Maximum: 138°C
• When using a module, don’t go beyond Imax or Vmax.
• When using moisture protection measures (sealing), please follow through.
• Expected life span: 200,000 hours
• Based on extensive testing, the failure rate is 0.2%.

Note:

The heat side requires a heat sink all the time. “ Do not run this device with a power supply more than a few seconds without a heatsink mounted to the device! ”

Features :

• Small module.
• functional up to 138°C.
• By simply flipping the supply’s polarity, it is simple to move from the hot to the cold side and vice versa.
• Checked cooling cells for quality.
• noiseless, vibration-free, and solid-state.
• Easy to set up and use.
• With a heat sink, ideally.
