12 V TEC1-12706 Thermoelectric Peltier Cooling Module (2 PCS)

Product Description:
This pack of 2 TEC1-12706 thermoelectric cooler modules provides a cost-effective solution for DIY cooling and heating projects. Using solid-state Peltier technology, these 40×40 mm semiconductor modules transfer heat when powered by a 12 V DC supply, creating a cold side and a hot side — ideal for compact coolers, electronic component temperature control, mini refrigerators, and prototype thermal systems. Durable and versatile, they’re perfect for hobbyists, makers, and engineers working with thermal management.
