TEC1-12708 5PCS Thermoelectric Peltier Cooler 40x40mm by YOURRYONG US

Description

Product Overview

The TEC1-12708 series is a compact thermoelectric Peltier cooling module designed for precise temperature regulation in scientific and engineering environments. Measuring 40 × 40 mm (1.57 × 1.57 inches), each semiconductor chip delivers a reliable heat‑pumping capability that can be harnessed to create small‑scale refrigeration systems, temperature‑controlled test rigs, and custom thermal management solutions. The package includes five individual modules, allowing users to build multi‑stage cooling assemblies or maintain a spare inventory for continuous operation. Manufactured by YOURRYONG US, a recognized supplier of laboratory instrumentation, the modules meet industry standards for durability, performance, and safety. With a lightweight profile of 1.06 ounces per unit and a robust ceramic substrate, the TEC1‑12708 chips are easy to mount on heat sinks, cold plates, or directly onto electronic boards using standard soldering techniques. The product was first made available on November 8 2024 and has quickly achieved a ranking of #68 in the Lab Coolers subcategory, reflecting strong acceptance among researchers who require compact, low‑maintenance cooling components.

Usage

These thermoelectric modules are ideally suited for laboratory refrigeration equipment, such as sample storage units, micro‑centrifuge coolers, and analytical instrument temperature chambers. They also perform well in educational settings where students construct hands‑on experiments involving heat transfer, solid‑state cooling, and energy‑efficiency demonstrations. In addition, the 40 × 40 mm footprint makes the TEC1‑12708 a popular choice for hobbyist projects, including DIY mini‑fridges, portable beverage coolers, and custom‑built thermal management rigs for electronics testing. The modules operate efficiently when paired with appropriate heat‑sink designs and power supplies, delivering temperature differentials of up to 70 °C depending on voltage and load conditions. Users should consider ambient temperature, desired cooling load, and airflow when integrating the chips into a system to achieve optimal performance.

FAQ

What voltage and current are required to operate the TEC1‑12708 modules?

The modules are typically driven by a DC voltage between 12 V and 15 V, with a maximum current draw of around 6 A per chip. Exact requirements depend on the desired temperature differential and load conditions, and a programmable power supply is recommended for fine‑tuning.

Can the modules be stacked to achieve greater cooling capacity?

Yes, multiple TEC1‑12708 units can be electrically connected in series or parallel to increase total cooling power. Proper thermal management, including adequate heat‑sink sizing and airflow, is essential when stacking modules to prevent overheating.

Are the modules compatible with standard heat‑sink dimensions?

The 40 × 40 mm footprint matches common heat‑sink sizes used in laboratory equipment. Users can select aluminum or copper heat sinks with matching mounting holes, and thermal paste should be applied to improve heat transfer efficiency.

What warranty does YOURRYONG provide for these Peltier modules?

YOURRYONG offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Customers can contact the support team for replacement or troubleshooting assistance within the warranty period.

How do I calculate the required heat‑sink size for my application?

Begin by estimating the total heat load (in watts) your system will generate, then select a heat‑sink with a thermal resistance low enough to dissipate that heat while maintaining the desired temperature differential. Manufacturer datasheets and online thermal‑resistance calculators can help determine the appropriate size.
