PolarTEC™ Series PT4,7,F2,3030 Thermoelectric Modules Innovative Technology for a Connected World The PolarTEC™ Series consists of porch-style thermoelectric modules (TEMs). The hot side of the ceramic has an extended edge that allows strong lead attachment to accommodate the wiring of multiple TEMs into an array. This product line is available in 4, 6, and 8 Amp configurations and is ideal for highvolume production. Assembled with Bismuth Telluride semiconductor material and thermally conductive Aluminum Oxide ceramics, the PolarTEC™ Series is designed for higher current and larger heat-pumping applications. APPLICATIONS FEATURES • Strong Lead Attachment • Precise Temperature Control • Reliable Solid State Operation • No Sound or Vibration • DC Operation • RoHS Compliant • Analytical Instrumentation • Photonics Laser Systems • Electronic Enclosure Cooling • Food and Beverage Cooling • Chillers (Liquid Cooling) • Consumer Appliances PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS Hot Side Temperature (°C) 25°C 50°C Qmax (Watts) 18.4 20.2 Delta Tmax (°C) 67 75 Imax (Amps) 3.8 3.8 Vmax (Volts) 8.1 9.2 Module Resistance (Ohms) 1.95 2.20 SUFFIX THICKNESS (PRIOR TO TINNING) FLATNESS & PARALLELISM HOT FACE COLD FACE Lead Length TA 0.163” +/- 0.001” 0.001” / 0.001” Lapped Lapped 6.0” TB 0.163” +/- 0.0005” 0.0005” / 0.0005” Lapped Lapped 6.0” SEALING OPTION global solutions: local support Americas: +1 888.246.9050 Europe: +46.31.420530 Asia: +86.755.2714.1166 [email protected] www.lairdtech.com TM SUFFIX SEALANT COLOR TEMP RANGE DESCRIPTION R RTV White -60 to 204 °C Non-corrosive, silicone adhesive sealant E Epoxy Black -55 to 150 °C Low density syntactic foam epoxy encapsulant PolarTEC™ Series PT4,7,F2,3030 Thermoelectric Modules Innovative Technology for a Connected World Performance Curves at Th = 25°C 3.8 A 20.0 9.0 3.1 A 18.0 8.0 2.3 A 7.0 16.0 0.8 A 6.0 14.0 5.0 12.0 4.0 10.0 8.0 Qc (W) 1.5 A 3.0 2.0 1.0 6.0 4.0 Voltage (V) ELECTRIC THERMO 0.0 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Delta T (°C) 2.0 0.0 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Delta T (°C) 1.34 (34.0) (+) RED AWG 18 PVC (SEE TABLE) 1.18 (30.0) (-) BLACK 1.18 (30.0) COLD FACE (SEE TABLE) THICKNESS (SEE TABLE) HOT FACE (SEE TABLE) OPERATING TIPS • Max Operating Temperature: 80°C • Do not exceed Imax or Vmax when operating module • Reference assembly guidelines for recommended installation THR-DS-PT4,7,F2,3030 1111 Any information furnished by Laird Technologies, Inc. and its agents is believed to be accurate and reliable.
