ATE1-18 TEC Modules

This TEC (Thermoelectric Cooler) modules, ATE1-18, has 18 pairs of Peltier elements inside with a maximum voltage of 2.3 Volt, as shown in Table 1 below. 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
ATE1-18 TECs can be used with our thermistors as well to achieve precise and stable temperature sensing.

The ATE1-18 TECs come in with metalized surfaces on the both sides. 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.

There are two different operating temperature ranges to choose. One is −55°C~85°C for the TECs, whose part number is without an “H” and the other is −55°C~200°C for
the TECs, whose part number is ended with an “H”.

The ATE1-18 TECs come with 2 insulated lead wires. The positive wire is in red color, and the negative wire is of black.
