Thermoelectric Cooler Heat Sink TEC1-12703 12V 18W uxcell

The uxcell TEC1-12703 is a thermoelectric cooler designed for efficient heat transfer in various applications. It operates on a 12V power supply and can handle up to 18 watts of power, making it suitable for both cooling and heating purposes. This device uses semiconductor materials between ceramic plates to transfer heat without any moving parts, ensuring a quiet and reliable operation.

The cooler can achieve a maximum temperature difference of up to 60°C when no load is applied. It functions effectively within a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 83°C, making it versatile for different environments. The device requires a heat sink on the hot side to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance. The resistance of the cooler is between 4.0 and 4.3 ohms, which affects its power consumption and efficiency.

The TEC1-12703 has compact dimensions of 40mm x 40mm x 4.2mm, making it easy to integrate into various systems. It comes with a 25cm power cord for convenient setup. The device is compatible with systems that can provide a stable 12V power supply and support the necessary current flow. Users should ensure proper polarity when connecting the cooler for cooling or heating functions.

Installation involves connecting the red wire to the positive terminal and the black wire to the negative terminal for cooling mode. When used for heating, simply reversing the polarity is sufficient. Applying heat-conducting silicone grease evenly on both sides enhances thermal conductivity and ensures efficient heat transfer.
