MDX06 Series of Single & Multistage TE Modules

MDX06

The MDX06 Series of thermoelectric coolers is based on MD06 Series high-density pellets placement and MX Group enlarged cold side concept. MDX06 Series contains 12 different 2-stage TECs with enlarged cold side. MDX06 TE coolers are developed and optimized mainly for sensing applications (X-Ray and IR). Additionally to enlarged cold ceramics MDX06 TECs have special electrical connections inside. It is a mix of serial and parallel connections between TEC internal elements that provides a unique balance for cooling capacity, dT and power consumption. Thermoelectric coolers from MDX06 group are optimal choice for X-Ray and IR- applications with large cold side required for detector elements. Thermoelectric coolers can be manufactured on regular and thin ceramics. It provides certain flexibility for TEC height variations. Al2O3 ceramics is applied by default, AlN ceramics is available as an option.

MDX06 TECs were developed by RMT separately to general thermoelectric coolers series. MDX06 TECs have quad shape with the same dimensions for hot and cold sides, different to typical pyramidal shape of multistage TE coolers. The optimal balance of parameters and additional flexibility in TEC height variations by ceramics thickness allow to replace single-stage TE coolers in sensing applications keeping the same geometry..

Specifications


Important Note: MDX06 Series TECs can be manufactured on standard 0.5mm and thin 0.25mm ceramics. 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 or special iTECPad app for iPad (available free on App Store).
