• Industrial Applications: Used in cooling components like CPU coolers, medical instruments, CCD sensors, and other sensitive electronic devices.

Operating Tips

1. Heat Dissipation is Crucial: Always use a heat sink on the hot side of the module. Failure to do so will cause the module to overheat and malfunction.
2. Do Not Exceed Maximum Ratings: Ensure you do not exceed the maximum voltage (15V) or maximum current (9A) during operation. Doing so could damage the module.
3. Moisture Protection: Consider applying moisture protection (sealing) for long-term use in humid or wet environments.
4. Ensure Proper Airflow: Adequate airflow around the heat sink is essential for effective heat transfer.
5. Reversibility: Reversing the polarity of the module will switch the roles of the hot and cold sides, making it easy to alternate between cooling and heating.

Features

• Compact Design: Small and efficient, making it easy to integrate into various applications.
• Simple to Operate: Easy to install and control, requiring only DC power and a heat sink for operation.
• Reversible Cooling/Heating: The polarity of the power supply can be reversed to easily switch between hot and cold sides.
• Vibration-Free and Noise-Free: As a solid-state device, it operates without moving parts, making it ideal for applications requiring silent operation.
• Long Life: The module has a long lifespan of around 200,000 hours, with a failure rate of only 0.2% based on long-term testing.

Important Notes

• Always Use a Heat Sink: The hot side of the module needs continuous heat dissipation to prevent overheating. Do not run the module without a heat sink attached, even for short periods.
• Moisture Protection: Ensure moisture protection in applications where the module will be exposed to humidity or water.
• Safety: Never exceed the module's voltage or current ratings to avoid damaging the module.
