Thermoelectric Module Datasheet

RMT Ltd

Application Tips

1. Never heat TE module more than 200˚C (TEC

assembled at 230˚C).

2. Never use TE module without attached heat sink

at hot (bottom) side.

3. Connect TE module to DC power supply

according to polarity.

4. Do not apply DC current higher than Imax.

Installation

1. Mechanical Mounting. TEC is placed between two heat exchangers . This construction is fixed by screws or

in another mechanical way. It is suitable for large modules (with dimensions 30x30mm and larger). Miniature

types require other assembling methods in most cases.

2. Soldering. This method is suitable for a TE module with metallized outside surfaces. RMT provides this

option and also makes pre-tinning for TE modules.

3. Glueing. It is an up-to-date method that is used by many customers due to availability of glues with good

thermoconductive properties. A glue is usually based on some epoxy compound filled with some

thermoconductive material such as graphite or diamond powders, silver, SiN and others. The application of

a specific type depends on application features and the type of a TE module.

Additional Options

TEC Polarity

WB Posts or Pads

Customized Au Patterns

TEC Polarity can be changed for free by request. The

specified in this datasheet polarity is typical.

It can be reversed without charge in accordance to

Customer application requirements.

WB pads or WB posts solutions are available. WB

pads (no posts) are provided as standard. WB Posts

solution is provided in accordance to Customer’s

demands and depending of TEC height.

Customized Au patterns solution on TEC cold side

ceramics is available. Selective Pre-tinning solution is

available. Please, contact us for additional

information about customized Au patterns

requirements.
