Looking to cool down your DIY project or any electronic device then you are at the right product. 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 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 are used 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. The TEC1-12706 is a widely used thermoelectric cooler module, often referred to as a Peltier module. It operates on the Peltier effect, where a voltage applied across the module creates a temperature difference between its two sides. This temperature differential allows it to transfer heat from one side of the module to the other, effectively acting as both a cooler and a heater. The TEC1-12706 module is commonly employed in various applications such as refrigeration, CPU cooling in computers, temperature stabilization in scientific instruments, and thermal management in electronic devices. It consists of multiple semiconductor elements sandwiched between two ceramic plates, with alternating n-type and p-type semiconductors. When a current flows through the module, heat is absorbed at one end (the cold side) and expelled at the other end (the hot side), providing efficient cooling or heating depending on the direction of the current. The TEC1-12706 module is compact, relatively inexpensive, and offers fast response times, making it suitable for a wide range of thermal management tasks. However, it’s important to note that these modules have limitations in terms of the maximum temperature differential they can achieve and the amount of heat they can transfer, which can vary depending on factors such as the applied voltage, current, and ambient temperature. Proper heat sinking and electrical insulation are also crucial for optimal performance and reliability. The TEC1-12706 thermoelectric cooler module is part of the TEC1 series, known for its versatility and efficiency in thermal management applications. With dimensions of approximately 40mm x 40mm, the TEC1-12706 module features 127 couples of semiconductor elements arranged in a grid pattern between two ceramic plates. Operating Tips: Max. 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 longtime testings: 0.2%. Connection Diagram of TEC1 12706 with Arduino: Important 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. Operable up to 138°C. Easy transition between the hot side to the cool side and vice-versa just by reversing the polarity of the supply. Quality tested cooling cells. Solid-state, vibration-free, noise-free. Simple to install and operate. Should use with a heat sink. Package Includes: 1 x TEC1 12706 Thermoelectric Cooler cooler 12 Volt 92 Watt.
