12 V TEC1-12706 Thermoelectric Peltier Cooling Module

Product Description:
This TEC1-12706 thermoelectric cooler (Peltier module) is a compact, solid-state temperature control device ideal for DIY cooling and heating applications. When powered with 12 V DC, it creates a hot and cold side — allowing you to cool drinks, mini refrigerators, CPU components, or other small areas without moving parts. Durable and efficient, it’s perfect for hobby electronics, temperature experiments, and custom thermal solutions.

Specifications:

• Model: TEC1-12706 thermoelectric cooling module
