Powerful, Efficient Cooling for DIY Projects – Perfect for Compact Cooling Solutions!
The TEC1-12706 Thermoelectric Peltier Cooler is an impressive little device, packing a lot of cooling power into a compact 40mm x 40mm unit. Designed to deliver 60W of cooling with a 12V, 6A power requirement, this Peltier plate is ideal for DIY cooling solutions, small-scale refrigeration, and even experimental electronics projects. Here’s why it’s an essential component for anyone looking for effective, space-saving cooling. Efficient Cooling Power This Peltier cooler can reach low temperatures quickly, making it ideal for compact systems where active cooling is needed. I’ve used it to keep electronic components cool in a closed environment, and it’s done an excellent job of reducing heat in minutes. At 60W, it’s powerful enough to handle moderate cooling tasks, like keeping a small fridge compartment cool or cooling down sensitive electronics during testing. Easy to Integrate into DIY Projects The 40mm x 40mm size is small and easy to fit into various projects, allowing it to be installed in enclosures or custom setups without taking up much space. This makes it perfect for anyone building custom cooling solutions for things like CPU cooling, portable mini-fridges, or insulated containers. It’s straightforward to wire and mount, so even beginners in electronics can get it up and running with minimal hassle. Fast Temperature Response The TEC1-12706 responds rapidly to power changes, reaching its maximum cooling capacity almost instantly when the current is applied. This fast response makes it excellent for applications requiring quick temperature control, like experimental setups or temporary cooling for electronic components. For anyone needing a solution that quickly adapts to changing temperatures, this Peltier plate is ideal. Quality Build with Durable Materials The construction quality is excellent for such an affordable cooling solution. The ceramic plates and semiconductor materials are sturdy and maintain performance over time without degrading. This durability makes it a reliable choice for long-term use in various setups, ensuring that it keeps running smoothly without risk of breaking or losing efficiency. Pairs Well with Heatsinks for Maximum Efficiency While the Peltier plate itself provides effective cooling, pairing it with a heatsink enhances its performance significantly by dispersing heat on the hot side. I found it works best with a good quality heatsink and cooling fan, which helps to maintain the cold side at a stable low temperature, especially during extended use. Adding these accessories makes the Peltier cooler even more efficient for prolonged or demanding tasks. Important Power Requirements With a 12V, 6A power requirement, it’s essential to ensure your power supply can handle this demand to avoid overloading. A dedicated power source is recommended, as this device draws significant power to achieve maximum cooling. However, with the right power setup, the TEC1-12706 delivers steady, efficient cooling without fluctuations, making it dependable for continuous use. Perfect for Experimenters and DIY Enthusiasts This Peltier cooler is highly versatile and suitable for a variety of DIY applications, from custom cooling projects to small refrigeration setups. For hobbyists and experimenters, it provides an affordable, effective way to experiment with thermoelectric cooling without complex installation or excessive cost. It’s also great for small electronics that need temporary cooling in testing phases. In summary, the TEC1-12706 12V 60W 6A Thermoelectric Peltier Cooler is a powerful, reliable solution for compact cooling needs. With rapid cooling response, durable construction, and flexibility in DIY applications, it’s an ideal choice for hobbyists and anyone in need of efficient temperature control in small setups. Highly recommended for DIY cooling projects, small refrigeration units, and experimental setups!

High quality Peltier Devices
Great price for 10 TEC1-12706. Bought to repair a refrigerator with open TEC1-12706 devices in it. Low power test, all units work correctly. One device did have a small chip in the corner, but not far enough to affect operation. To keep cost competitive, I understood these arrive in a bubble pack mailer. I would recommend to the seller to add a small square of corrugated cardboard to the sides of each stack of devices inside the bubble mailer to prevent corner damage without increasing shipping weight/cost. Five stars for the value and quality of the product despite one being damaged (still functional for some application). Thank you for having these parts available to repair the things that break vs stuffing landfills.

Good performance and uniformity
The cells work well, the cables are short but I think they are enough for the help of the applications. I was testing them and the temperature difference between the faces as well as the uniformity are good.

Setchy re-labeling
They work well enough, but still appears to be a re-labeled TEC1-12705 revealed after cleaning with rubbing alcohol.

Cheap fix for wine fridge, quality so so
Replacement for failed TECs in Wine Enthusiast dual zone fridge that was picked up for free ninety nine. Got pack of 4 and put in 2, used artic silver thermal compound to ensure best tlheat transfer. One of the 2 failed in days and actually began heating...saw temp up to 72F! Replaced that one with 3rd of the 4 and so far so good. I guess quality is hit or miss with these. Price is right and can get new ones pretty easily but let's just day I ain't putting the good vino in this until both sides hold temp for a while.

Good value for these panels but get fans too
This was a great deal for the panels. They get really hot on one side and really cold on the other. I was able to use a large NVMe heatsink in one build to cover two panels and dissipate the heat effectively.

Great cost vs what you get. I paid the same price for one from another company and it blew up as soon as it was energized. I've only used a couple so far but both worked with no problems and seem to be better than the original (used in car plug-in cooler/heater). Now with the extras I know I can do repairs in the future or perhaps build a custom cooler/fridge for the car.
