TEC1-12705 Peltier Module - 12V 5A Thermoelectric Cooling Plate For Electronics Cooling Projects

About This Product

DIY electronics enthusiasts and makers, get ready to play with temperature control! This TEC1-12705 Peltier module is one of those components that opens up so many cool project possibilities. At 40x40x3.8mm, it's compact but packs a serious cooling punch.\n\nRunning at 12V and 5A, this thermoelectric cooler can create temperature differences up to 75°C - that's enough to frost up or even create ice on one side while the other gets hot. The really neat thing? Just reverse the polarity and it switches from cooling to heating instantly!\n\nNow, super important warning: you MUST use this with a heat sink. These things generate serious heat on one side, and without proper heat dissipation, they'll burn out faster than you can say 'thermoelectric effect.' The module comes with 6-inch insulated leads that make wiring up your projects much easier.\n\nI've seen people use these for everything from DIY CPU coolers and portable refrigerators to custom car drink warmers/coolers and even alternative power sources. The semiconductor construction means no moving parts - just solid-state temperature control.\n\nEach module is fully inspected and tested before shipping, so you know you're getting a quality component. The white ceramic surfaces are durable and provide good thermal transfer. Maximum cooling power is about 54.7W, which is pretty impressive for such a small device.\n\nWhether you're building a specialized cooling system, experimenting with energy harvesting, or just want to understand thermoelectric principles, this Peltier module is a fantastic starting point. Just remember that heat sink - I can't stress that enough!
