«ST» presents «M-Series» TECs - from 2 to 5 cascades thermoelectric cooling devices with maximum temperature difference between its cold and hot side up to 130°C.
ML – linear cascade TECs. The variation of ME-subseries TECs especially designed for deep cooling of oblong objects (CCDs, detector arrays etc.).
Notes and Definitions

Parameter - Definition
Imax, (A) - TEC current at ΔTmax
Umax, (V) - TEC voltage at ΔTmax
ΔTmax, (K) - Maximum temperature difference between TEC cold and hot side (I=Imax, Qmax=0)
Qmax, (W) - Maximum TEC cooling capacity (I=Imax, ΔT=0)
Th, (K) - TEC hot side temperature
H, (mm) - TEC height
Top=AxB, (mm) - Dimensions of the TEC cold side
Bottom=CxD, (mm) - Dimensions of the TEC hot side
General Notes:
All TEC performance characteristics given for 30°C in vacuum
All TEC dimensions given in millimeters
To estimate TEC cooling capacity (Q ) at ΔT different from ΔTmax use equation Q=Qmax (1-ΔT/ΔTmax)
To estimate TEC temperature difference (ΔT) at Q different from Qmax use equation
ΔT = ΔTmax (1- Q/Qmax)
