TEC1-12706 Thermoelectric Peltier Cooler Module

The TEC1-12706 Thermoelectric Peltier Cooler Module is a type of thermoelectric device that functions as a small heat pump. Each module consists of a series of p-type and n-type semiconductor elements that are sandwiched between two ceramic plates and connected in series. These elements create a heat flux between the junction of the two materials when a voltage is applied, causing one side of the Peltier module to absorb heat while the other side dissipates heat. This effect is known as the Peltier effect. The "12706" in the model name indicates specific characteristics: "12" represents the nominal voltage of 12V DC, "70" signifies the maximum current of 7.0 Amps, and "06" relates to the number of thermoelectric couples, which is 127 in this module. The module can generate a significant temperature differential, up to approximately 68°C under optimal conditions, with no moving parts, making it reliable and maintenance-free for applications that require cooling or heating. Commonly used in consumer applications like portable coolers, CPU coolers, and other electronic devices requiring temperature control, the TEC1-12706 is also a staple in scientific instruments where precise temperature control is crucial. Its compact size, ability to reverse its cooling effect with a change in the direction of current, and ease of integration into various assemblies make it a versatile choice for managing thermal conditions.
