TO-8 SUB-MOUNTS

     TO-8 is a very common header type in laser and 

     optoelectronics applications. It is suitable for:

     •DFB Laser Diodes

     •Quantum Cascade Lasers

     •Superluminescent Diodes

     •X-Ray Detectors

     •Infra-Red Detectors

     •Avalanche Photodiodes.

     The material of TO-8 header is usually Kovar or CRS coated with nickel and gold for base and pins. RMT Ltd offers thermoelectric sub-assemblies on TO-8 header with 6, 12 or 16 pins. Pins can be standard (cylindrical form), as well as with flattening ends or nailhead form modified to simplify wire bonding process.
     The header surface open for mounting is about 8.0×8.0 mm2, which is enough for a wide range of TECs. RMT Ltd offers different solutions with single-stage and multistage TECs available.

Sub-Assembly Overview

Standard Sub-Assemblies Solutions

     This is a list of standard, most common solutions with thermoelectric coolers mounted on TO-8 headers. The complete list of possible solutions is wider. TO-8 header is suitable for any thermoelectric cooler with hot side dimensions up to 8×8 mm2. Please, contact RMT Ltd in case if specific solution on TO-8 is required.

     TEC performance parameters are specified at standard conditions (+27°C, vacuum). The datasheet for each sub-assembly contains also the additional data, specified at +50°C, N2. Please, download the datasheet for detailed info. The affect from TO-8 Kovar base thermal resistance (Rt) is included into specified performance values. TO-8 sub-assembly is required to be attached to an appropriate heatsink to spread the heat, pumped from LD (or another source) and thermoelectric cooler. Heatsink thermal resistance may affect on performance, and is required to be as low as possible. Heatsink thermal resistance influence is not included into specified performance data. 


     You may use TEC Select Assistant to find other thermoelectric coolers suitable for TO-8 header. Press the On-Line Assistant link and specify hot side dimensions as 8.0×8.0 mm2 as a main search criteria. The cooling capacity of TEC is recommended to be as at least 2 times higher than expected heat load in the application. For example - for 2W estimated heat load, please, specify TEC Qmax as at least 4W in the search field. The assistant will specify all thermoelectric coolers compatible for installing on TO-8 package. The datasheets for not listed TO-8 sub-assemblies are available by request.
