The TEC1-12705 operates on the Peltier effect, where applying a DC voltage causes heat to be pumped from one ceramic face to the other, creating distinct hot and cold sides. Its 127 semiconductor couples within the 40mm x 40mm area provide a substantial temperature differential, capable of achieving gradients over 80°C when properly heat-sinked.
Effective operation is contingent on managing the heat rejected from the hot side; failure to use an adequate heatsink will cause the module to reach thermal equilibrium and cease pumping heat. This solid-state design offers a reliable, maintenance-free alternative to compressor-based cooling for applications requiring precise temperature control or compact form factors.
