TEC1-12715 15A – 136.8W 12V-15.4V – tec Thermoelectric Cooler Peltier Module

Product description:

1. Thermoelectric coolers (TEC or Peltier) create a temperature differential on each side. One side gets hot and the other side gets cool
2. Therefore, they can be used to either warm something up or cool something down, depending on which side you use
3. You can also take advantage of a temperature differential to generate electricity. This Peltier works very well as long as you remove the heat from the hot side. After turning on the device, the hot side will heat quickly, the cold side will cool quickly
4. If you do not remove the heat from the hot side (with a heat sink or other device), the Peltier will quickly reach stasis and do nothing. We recommend using an old computer CPU heatsink or another block of metal to pull heat from the hot side
5. We were able to use a computer power supply and CPU heatsink to make the cold side so uncomfortable we could not hold our finger to it
6. A thermoelectric cooling (TEC) module is a semiconductor-based electronic component that functions as a small heat pump
7. By applying the 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
8. There are 127 couples in a single module; a 40mm x 40mm size module is a single-stage module that is designed for cooling and heating up to 90°C applications
9. Also Known as Thermoelectric cooling modules, Thermoelectric modules, Peltier modules, Thermoelectric cooling module
10. These devices must be used in conjunction with a heat sink to avoid burning. Each device is fully inspected and tested *Fitted with 6-inch insulated leads
11. They are widely used in industrial areas, for example, computer CPU, CCDs, portable refrigerators, medical instruments, and so on
