Thermoelectric Cooler Peltier TEC1-12703

Description:

The TEC-12703 is a thermoelectric cooling module based on the Peltier effect, which transfers heat from one side of the module to the other when an electric current is applied. It is commonly used in small-scale cooling applications such as CPU coolers, electronic enclosures, mini refrigerators, and laboratory instruments. This module consists of multiple semiconductor junctions sandwiched between two ceramic plates, providing reliable heat transfer and cooling performance.

Features:

• Small module.
• Easy transition between the hot side to the cool side and vice-versa just by reversing the polarity of supply.
• Quality tested cooling cells.
• Solid state, vibration free, noise-free.
• Simple to install and operate.
• Should use with a heat sink.

  Usage Notes:
  • Must be used with a proper heat sink on the hot side to prevent overheating.
  • Avoid exceeding voltage and current ratings to prevent damage.
  • Ensure good thermal contact using thermal paste for better efficiency.
  • Works best when operated at around 60-80% of its maximum power.
