Datasheet

• For respective P
c max
∆T
max
and I
max
, see specification tables. Module Hot side temperature T
h
= 25°C.
• At T
h
= 50°C the ∆T
max
increases by 10°C and P
c max
by 10% compared to the above curves.
• For multistage modules, as well as for more detailed specifications for any module, please call
for individual performance graphs.
• U
max
and I
max
are specified at ∆T = ∆T
max
• ∆T = Hot side temperature (T
h
) less Cold side temperature (T
c
).
Cooling power (P
c
) versus Temperature difference (∆T) for single stage modules.

Installation
• Recommended mounting methods are clamping using thermal
grease, bonding with thermal epoxy, or soldering with metallized
ceramics (option).
• TE modules should not be subjected to signifi cant shear forces.
• Surface fl atness of heat sinks should be 0.05 mm/100 mm or better.
• Soldering is not recommended for TE modules whose size is
18 x 18 mm or larger.
• Maximum clamping pressure is 1000 kPa for miniatures and
1500 kPa for other modules.
Operation
• Storage and operation in a condensing environment is only recom-
mended if you use sealed modules.
• Generally TE modules are operated at 40-80% of U
max
.
• Be sure to handle TE modules carefully during transportation and
in production.
• When regulating in ON/OFF mode, make sure cycle time is
60 sec. or more.
• If you use your own PWM-controller, make sure switching
frequency is 5 kHz or more.
