RS PRO Peltier Module, 16.8W, 8.5A, 3.75V, 20 x 20 x 20mm

Introducing the range of RS PRO Peltier Modules, ideal for higher current and larger cooling applications. This type of thermoelectric appliance works by using the Peltier effect, which means they can either cool down or heat up components like IR (infrared) detector chips, fibre-optic lasers and detectors, microwave IC’s (integrated circuits) and much more.

Peltier modules are thermoelectric components that can cool or heat an object for thermal management in a range of applications. They are great devices that offer long, maintenance-free operation due to the fact that they don’t have moving parts - This means there is little to no wear or tear through the vibration that could damage the modules over time, as well as offering noise-free operation to ensure no additional noise pollution in the immediate working environment. Typical applications of Peltier modules include:

• Thermal and ambient temperature management


• Scientific and biomedical instruments


• Laboratory equipment


• Industrial and maintenance


• Electrical equipment and consumables
