TEC1-6308 Thermoelectric Cooler Peltier 420mm
The TEC1-06308 is a robust thermoelectric cooler (Peltier) built from 63 semiconductor couples sandwiched between ceramic plates. When DC is applied the device pumps heat from one side to the other, producing a cold side for cooling small enclosures, electronic components, or laboratory samples. This particular type is designed for moderate-to-high cooling capacity in a compact footprint and is commonly used where size and no-moving-parts cooling are needed.
The module is specified with a maximum voltage of 7.6 V and maximum current of 8 ± 0.5 A, delivering a maximum heat-pumping capacity (Qcmax) of ≈ 32 W at rated voltage. It is supplied with tinned 20 AWG wires (red = +, black = −) with a standard length of 151 ± 5 mm, and is rated for operation across a wide environmental range (working temperature −55 °C to +80 °C).
Features:
- Solid-state cooling with no moving parts.
- Compact square ceramic package for easy mounting.
- Rapid localized cooling and temperature stabilization.
- Reversible heating/cooling by reversing polarity.
- Good thermal cycling tolerance for many applications.
- Supplied with pre-tinned wires for easy connection.
