TEC1-12715 40×40mm 15A Thermoelectric Cooler Module
The TEC1-12715 is a 40×40mm solid-state Peltier thermoelectric cooler module designed for precise temperature control applications. Operating at 12V DC with a maximum current of 15A, it transfers heat from one side to the other, creating a hot and cold surface ideal for integration into cooling systems, thermal management platforms, and energy harvesting projects.
Features
- 127 semiconductor couples within a compact 40×40mm ceramic substrate.
- High-power operation: 12V nominal voltage, 15A max current, and 230W max power handling.
- Solid-state, vibration-free, and noise-free operation for stable thermal management.
- Reversible heat pumping direction by simply inverting the DC supply polarity.
- Includes 25cm power leads for direct connection to DC power supplies or driver circuits.

The TEC1-12715 utilizes the Peltier effect, where applying a DC voltage across the module causes heat to be pumped from one ceramic face to the other. This creates a controlled temperature differential, enabling active cooling or heating. The module’s 127 bismuth telluride couples are optimized for high heat flux, making it suitable for demanding thermal loads.
Effective operation is contingent on proper thermal management, specifically the mandatory use of a heatsink on the hot side to dissipate the transferred and internally generated Joule heat. Without adequate heatsinking, the module will quickly reach thermal equilibrium and cease to function. The robust ceramic construction ensures electrical isolation and long-term reliability in controlled environments.
