Thermoelectric Modules 

PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE

INTRODUCTION 

Principles of Operation 

A practical thermoelectric module generally consists of two or more elements of n and p-type doped semiconductor 

material that are connected electrically in series and thermally in parallel. These thermoelectric elements and their 

electrical interconnects typically are mounted between two ceramic substrates. A variety of different shapes, substrate 

materials, metallization patterns and mounting options are available. 

The schematic diagram above shows a typical thermoelectric module assembly. Both N-type and P-type Bismuth 

Telluride thermoelectric materials are used in a thermoelectric cooler. This arrangement causes heat to move 

through the module in one direction only while the electrical current moves back and forth alternately between the 

top and bottom substrates through each N and P element. N-type material is doped so that it will have an excess of 

electrons and P-type material is doped so that it will have a deficiency of electrons. The extra electrons in the N 

material and the “holes” resulting from the deficiency of electrons in the P material are the carriers which move the 

heat energy through the thermoelectric material. Most thermoelectric cooling modules are fabricated with an equal 

number of N-type and P-type elements where one N and P element pair form a thermoelectric “couple.” For example, 

the module illustrated above has two pairs of N and P elements and is termed a “two-couple module”. 

Cooling capacity (heat actively pumped through the thermoelectric module) is proportional to the magnitude of the 

applied DC electric current and the thermal conditions on each side of the module. By varying the input current 

from zero to maximum, it is possible to regulate the heat flow and control the surface temperature. 

Advantages of Thermoelectric Modules 

■ No moving parts 

■ Small and lightweight 

■ Maintenance-free 

■ Acoustically silent and electrically “quiet” 

■ Heating and cooling with the same module (including temperature cycling) 

■ Wide operating temperature range 

■ Highly precise temperature control (to within 0.1°C) 

■ Operation in any orientation, zero gravity and high G- levels 

■ Environmentally friendly 

■ Sub-ambient cooling 

■ Cooling to very low temperatures (-80°C)

Type 2 thermoelectric modules feature 

a “porch” for easy attachment of leads. 

This makes the L2 dimension slightly 

longer than the L1 dimension. Please

Tabulated specifications are derived from the average performance of actual modules operating 

in ambient air at sea level. Temperature differential is the difference in temperature between two copper plates attached 

to the hot and cold module face plate using zinc-oxide-loaded silicone grease at the plate-to-module interfaces.
