ATE1-127 TEC Modules

This series of TEC (Thermoelectric Cooler) modules,  ATE1-127, has 127 pairs of Peltier elements inside with a  maximum voltage of 15.4 Volt, there are several options for  maximum current, resulting in different power gratings. They are designed for regulating  the temperature of the target objects precisely and can be  controlled by our TEC controllers to build highly stable and  efficient temperature regulating systems. The ATE1-127  series TECs can be used with our thermistors as well to  achieve precise and stable temperature sensing.  

The ATE1-127 series TECs come in with highly flat bare  ceramic surfaces on the both sides, they can be mounted  onto flat metal surfaces by inserting thin layers of thermally  conductive filler materials, the so-called thermal pads, or  placing a thin layer of thermal paste. When mounting, make  sure that proper pressure is applied constantly to keep good  thermal contacting between the metal and the TEC plates, minimizing thermal resistance between them.  The TECs can withstand strong orthogonal forces applied to  the surface, but very vulnerable to tangent forces, especially shocking tangent forces. A small shocking tangent force can  cause the Peltier elements crack inside. The crack may not cause operation problem initially, but it will grow with time, causing the TEC resistance to increase slowly, by the end,  the TEC will stop operating.
