MD015 SERIES OF SINGLE TE MODULES

The MD015 Series consists of thermoelectric cooler based on RMT SuperHD pellets placement technology. MD015 TECs have a combination of a miniature cross section of pellets and a distance of 100 μm between them. This allows the density of 1600 elements per 1 cm2. The result is – unique miniature thermoelectric coolers with low current, low energy consumption and operating voltage, optimal for the best power supply efficiency. TE modules of the 1MD015 Series have planar dimensions less than 1,5 mm2 and height 0,55 mm and lower. MD015 TECs meet high performance requirements of transceiver components with low power consumption. MD015 Series is recommended for TO-can TOSA transceivers, VCSELs and miniature LD-applications in small form factors (TO46 and TO56 and smaller). AlN ceramics is applied by default, Al2O3 ceramics is available as an option.

MD015 Series have the highest level of bulk thermoelectric coolers miniaturization. MD015 TECs are developed by RMT mainly for cooling and temperature stabilization of telecommunication miniature systems.

Important Note: MD015 Series TECs are manufactured by default on 0.1 mm thickness AlN ceramics. There is also 0.15mm ceramics as a solution for low-height thermoelectric coolers. This adds an additional flexibility to performance and height optimization in a particular application. It is also possible to combine various ceramics thicknesses to achieve the most optimal results for TEC height.

Please, use On-Line Assistant to find the most optimal thermoelectric cooler by dimensions and performance parameters. The detailed analysis of TEC performance and power consumption can be made with free TECCad software for Windows
