TEC1-12710 Thermoelectric Peltier Cooler / Cooling module 12V, 10A, 120W

Thermoelectric Peltier cooler, primarily consists of semiconductor material sandwiched between two ceramic plates and are used in numerous applications from CPU coolers to alternate power sources. A thermoelectric cooling (TEC) module is a semiconductor-based electronic component that functions as a small heat pump. By applying 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 used in industrial areas, for example, computer CPU, CCDs, portable refrigerators, medical instruments, and so on.Some important notes:

• 1. Power ON the device only with proper Heat-sink setup to avoid any burning/damage or malfunction of the device!
• 2. Use a good quality heat sink (such as in CPU fans) with thermal paste and power the device
• 3. Use a 12V Dc Power supply to power the TEC1-12710
• 4. Use ONE AA battery for 10- 20 seconds to power ON the device to find the hot /cold side

Warning:Power ON the device only with proper Heat-sink setup to avoid burning/damage/malfunction of device. The hot surface Th of the TEC must be attached to a suitable FAN SINK (60x60x40+mm) that is capable of carrying away both the heat pumped by the TEC plus Joule heat from the electric power supplied to the TEC. A heat sink rise of 15C above ambient is typical for many TEC applications. Otherwise, a bigger heat sink must be used to reduce temperature.Care should be taken when applying pressure during installation. Uniform pressure is desired across the mounting surfaces. If uneven pressure is applied, thermal performance may be reduced or damage may occur to the TEC.
