Peltier Thermoelectric Module 5 Amp
TEC1 12705
Product Code: COM0610
A thermoelectric module is a solid state device which can operate as a heat pump to transfer heat utilising the "Peltier effect."
Gets ice cold in minutes or heat to boiling by simply reversing the polarity, used for numerous applications from CPU coolers to alternate power sources, or even for your own custom car drink warmer/cooler.Since they consit primarily of semiconductor material sandwiched between ceramic plates and have no moving parts
