TEC1-12703 30x30 Thermoelectric Cooler (Peltier Module) 12V 3A
The TEC1-12703 is a high-performance thermoelectric cooler (TEC), commonly known as a Peltier module, designed for cooling applications. It uses the Peltier effect, a thermoelectric phenomenon that transfers heat from one side of the module to the other when current flows through it. This module is widely used in a variety of applications where precise cooling is required, such as refrigeration, electronics cooling, thermal management, and temperature control in devices like mini-fridges, laser systems, and cooling of electronic components.
Key Features:
-
Thermoelectric Cooling: The TEC1-12703 is designed to transfer heat from one side to the other, offering cooling capabilities. It is efficient for cooling down to -40°C (depending on the application and ambient temperature).
-
Voltage and Current: It operates at 12V DC with a maximum current of 3A, providing good cooling capacity while being compatible with most 12V power sources.
-
Size: The module has a 30mm x 30mm footprint, making it compact and easy to integrate into systems requiring thermoelectric cooling.
-
Temperature Range: The cooler module can achieve significant temperature differentials, typically reaching 40°C to 60°C between the hot and cold sides, depending on the cooling system and heat dissipation on the hot side.
-
Lightweight and Compact: Its small form factor (30mm x 30mm) makes it ideal for applications where space is limited.
-
Long Lifespan: Thermoelectric modules like the TEC1-12703 have a long operational life if used within specified voltage and current limits.
