Unique-Bargains TEC1-12730 30A 12V 288W 62mm Peltier gadget

SKU CH-G6VJ-5R5BT MPN TEC1-12730

A 62 mm thermoelectric cooler module rated 30 A at 12 V delivers 288 W and a 65 °C temperature differential at 5.78 V

  • Product typeGadgets
  • 30 A current delivers 288 W cooling power
  • 12 V DC input enables simple power integration
  • 62 mm square footprint fits compact assemblies
  • 65 °C temperature differential at 5.78 V supply
  • 8 in leads allow flexible module placement

What this module does

The TEC1-12730 is a thermoelectric cooler that moves heat from one face to the other when DC power is applied. It suits experimenters, hobbyists and small-scale cooling projects that need a solid-state heat pump without moving parts. Buyers who require a ready-to-mount assembly with integrated heat-sinks or temperature controllers will not find those items included.

Thermals and power in use

At a 5.78 V supply the plate creates a temperature difference of roughly 65 °C (149 °F) between its cold and hot sides. Rated limits are 12 V and 30 A, giving a maximum power draw of 288 W. The hot side must be attached to a suitable heat-sink before power is applied; running the module without one for more than a few seconds causes internal overheating and permanent damage.

What the bundle provides

The package contains only the 62 × 62 × 4 mm white Peltier plate and a pair of 30 cm (11.8 in) lead wires. No thermal paste, mounting hardware, heat-sink, fan, controller or driver circuitry is supplied. Users must source appropriate cooling, insulation and current-limiting electronics themselves before the module can be operated safely.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 62 mm TEC1-12730 module and what step do installers most often miss?

Apply thermal paste, clamp the cold side to your load and the hot side to a heatsink, then connect the 30 cm leads to a 12 V supply; the step most often missed is securing the heatsink before powering the module, because the note warns that even a few seconds without it causes internal overheating and destruction.

What maintenance or replacement will the TEC1-12730 need over time?

The solid-state module itself has no moving parts to service; plan to inspect and, if necessary, replace the thermal interface material and verify the heatsink fan periodically so the hot side stays cool enough to avoid the overtemperature damage described in the warning.

What thermal limit appears first when the TEC1-12730 runs continuously at 30 A?

At 12 V the module draws 30 A and produces 288 W of waste heat on the hot side; the 65 °C (149 °F) temperature differential quoted at 5.78 V shows that the hot-side heatsink capacity is the first limit reached under sustained full-power operation.
