Description
TEC1 12706 12V 60W Thermoelectric Cooler Cooling Peltier Plate ModuleThermoelectric coolers (TECs or Peltier elements) create a temperature differential on each side. One side gets hot and the other side gets cool. Therefore, they can be used to either warm something up or cool something down, depending on which side you use. They have no moving parts, and can be switched from heating to cooling by simply reversing the polarity of the input voltage.
These TEC1-12706 60W 12V Peltier thermoelectric coolers are perfect for application requiring heating or cooling such as small DIY refrigerators, custom drink heaters/coolers and electronic component and device chillers or heaters.
TECs work very well as long as you remove the heat from the hot side. After turning on the device, the hot side will heat quickly, and the cold side will cool quickly. If you do not remove the heat from the hot side with a heat sink or other device, it will overheat and fail.
As with all TECs, this cooler must be mounted to a heatsink before applying power to it.
You should never use this device without sufficient thermal cooling (heatsink, fan etc). Operating it without additional cooling for more than a few seconds will damage the device and will present a burning hazard (the heating side will get very hot, quickly). Envistia Mall cannot replace devices that have been damaged in this way.
The maximum power (voltage x current) applied to this device must not exceed 60 Watts, and at this power level will require a substantial air- or water-cooled heatsink with
thermal compound
in order to remove the heat from the device.
