TEC1-12706 Thermoelectric Cooler Peltier – 12V, 6A

TEC1-127060 Semiconductor Thermoelectric Peltier Cooler [12V, 6A] package contains of 6A thermoelectric coolers. The thermoelectric cooler also is known as TEC or Peltier cooler, is an active semiconductor part, which enables to give heat on one side and get the heat on another side, results in differential temperature on its sides, means one side is cooler and another side is hotter than ambient. In other words, a Peltier cooler/heater is an active heat pump, which consumes electric power to transfer heat energy from one side to another side.  Therefore, it can be used for warming or cooling something or even simultaneously warming a thing and cooling another thing. This TEC is supplied with 12V and 6A current and can produce up to 60 degrees Celcius differential temperature between two sides. It should be used with a heatsink to prevent burning due to overhot. Also for better heat-conducting, thermal paste using is recommended.
