12 V TEC1-12705 Thermoelectric Peltier Cooling Module (2 PCS)

Product Description:
This pair of TEC1-12705 thermoelectric Peltier cooling chips is ideal for DIY cooling and thermal-control applications. When powered with a 12 V DC supply, these solid-state modules transfer heat from one side to the other, creating a cold side and a hot side without moving parts. Compact, energy-efficient, and versatile, they’re perfect for hobby projects like mini coolers, portable refrigeration, custom electronics cooling, and temperature stabilization systems.

Specifications:

• Model: TEC1-12705 thermoelectric cooler module

• Voltage: 12 V DC (operates up to ~15 V max)

• Current: ~5 A typical (5.0–5.5 A max)

• Dimensions: ~40 × 40 × 4 mm

• Cooling Capacity: ~44–49 W at T = 0 °C

• Material: Ceramic/heatsink-ready thermoelectric semiconductor

• Included: 2 × TEC1-12705 Peltier modules

Key Features:

• Thermoelectric cooling: Creates a cold side and hot side via the Peltier effect when powered, ideal for compact cooling projects.

• Dual-function: Can also heat surfaces when polarity is reversed.

• Solid-state operation: No moving parts, silent and vibration-free performance.

• Compact form factor: 40 × 40 mm size fits easily into DIY projects.

• Wide temperature differential: Handles up to ~75 °C difference between hot and cold sides.

• Reliable: High quality and durable semiconductor design with long service life.

Other Details:

• Requires heat dissipation: Best performance when the hot side is paired with a heat sink and fan for efficient cooling.

• DIY friendly: Great for makers, hobbyists, and thermal experimenters.

• Applications: Used in portable fridges, beverage coolers, CPU/electronics cooling, laboratory setups, temperature control boxes, and more.

• Power considerations: Ensure a stable 12 V supply capable of ~5 A per module for proper operation.
