## Description

It allows cooling or heating by electrical power, creating a temperature difference between the two sides, suitable for DIY projects, electronics and compact industrial applications. It operates at 12VDC, offers up to 60W of heat transfer power, has dimensions of 40x40x3.6 mm and model TEC1-12706, requiring efficient dissipation on the hot side for good performance.
The Peltier cell is a thermoelectric device composed of multiple Peltier-effect junctions in series; together with Seebeck-effect devices, it is an application of the so-called "thermoelectric" systems. Its name comes from Jean Charles Athanase Peltier.
With this module, cooling or heating can be achieved using only electricity by creating a temperature difference between the two faces of the plate. The more efficient the heat dissipation on one side, the more the module will cool on the opposite side.
Specifications:
Dimensions mm: 40 x 40 x 3.6
Model: TEC1-12706
Supply voltage: 12VDC
Supply current: 4.3 - 4.6A
Cooling power: Qcmax 50-60W
* The specifications regarding the module's power reflect its testing under ideal test conditions. The module behaves like a resistor. Its heating during operation leads to an increase in resistance, thus decreasing power. Use a quality heatsink and thermal paste for optimal results.
Important:
The presence of a heatsink with adequate cooling on the heated side is essential for correct operation.
