TEC1-12706 Thermoelectric Cooler – 40x40mm 6A Peltier Module
The TEC1-12706 Thermoelectric Cooler is a compact solid-state cooling module that uses the Peltier effect to transfer heat from one surface to the other when DC voltage is applied. With a standard 40 × 40 mm form factor, it is suitable for a wide range of electronic cooling and temperature-control applications.
The TEC1-12706 features 127 thermoelectric couples and is commonly operated at approximately 12V DC with a maximum current of around 6A. The cooling performance depends on the applied voltage, current, heat-sink capacity, thermal interface and operating conditions.
