If you are looking for quality and reliability for your thermoelectric (TEC) requirements, then i-TEC has the solutions for you. With more than 3,000 high quality and reliable single and multistage micro-TEC models, this is the widest range of thermal, electrical and mechanical properties available.
Options include substrate material, inner solder, cold and hot side metalization, type of lead wires, etc. We also provide mounting of the micro-coolers to the different types of headers, sockets, and housings.
i-TEC’s micro-TECs are used for thermal management of the key components in various high-value and high-tech products which usually work in harsh conditions. Achieving the highest reliability of the thermoelectric products is a fundamental concept for them. i-TEC performs a whole range of tests for compliance with world quality standards. All i-TEC products are Telcordia GR468 and MIL-STD -883 compliant.

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
- TEC can switch between cooling and heating by changing the current direction, which is especially suitable for applications where PCR requires both heating and cooling (cooling).
- TEC can adjust the cooling capacity of TEC by changing the current to achieve accurate temperature control.
- TEC has no vibration, no noise, no pollution in the working process.
- The TEC commonly used in PCR is small and medium size and micro single-stage TEC.
- PCR application conditions have high requirements on the cold and hot cycle life of TEC.
- Each PCR machine usually uses multiple TECs.
