Product Overview

The TEC1-12706 thermoelectric Peltier cooler plate is a 12V thermoelectric module that transfers heat from one side to the other when powered, enabling compact solid-state cooling or heating without refrigerants or compressors. With a 40x40mm Peltier element format, it is ideal for DIY temperature control, portable coolers, small enclosures, electronics experiments, dehumidifiers, and lab or maker prototyping. The TEC1-12706 can be paired with heatsinks, fans, and a PWM or MOSFET driver for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32-based thermal control projects. Reversing polarity swaps the hot and cold sides for flexible temperature regulation.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, the TEC1-12706 can be controlled using an Arduino by employing a PWM or MOSFET driver for regulating power. You can also integrate it with Arduino-based sensor projects for dynamic temperature control.
No, the TEC1-12706 itself requires no soldering as it features simple wire connections. However, attaching it to a heatsink or fan setup may require mounting efforts depending on your design.
