TEC1-12704 40×40mm 4A Thermoelectric Cooler Peltier Module
The TEC1-12704 is a 40x40mm thermoelectric cooler (Peltier) module operating at 12V DC with a 4.3A max current, designed for solid-state heating and cooling applications in electronics, instrumentation, and thermal management systems.
Features
- 127 semiconductor couples for efficient heat transfer up to 70°C differential.
- 12V DC nominal operating voltage with a maximum power rating of 36W.
- Solid-state, vibration-free, and noise-free operation for sensitive applications.
- Reversible polarity for switching between heating and cooling modes.
- Requires an external heatsink on the hot side for sustained operation.

The TEC1-12704 thermoelectric cooler module utilizes the Peltier effect to actively transfer heat from one side to the other when DC power is applied, creating a distinct hot and cold surface. Its construction features 127 semiconductor couples within a compact 40x40mm ceramic substrate, enabling a temperature differential of up to 70°C. This solid-state design offers precise thermal control without moving parts.
For optimal performance and longevity, the module must be paired with an adequate heatsink and fan assembly on the hot side to dissipate waste heat. Failure to manage thermal load will cause the module to reach equilibrium, ceasing effective cooling. It is rated for 200,000 hours of service life and is suitable for integration into DC-powered systems.
