TEC Microsystems introduces MD TEC Series of thermoelectric modules with high-density pellets placement. The main feature of this series of miniature TE modules is an increased cooling capacity (up to 13-14 W/cm2). The distance between pellets is only 200um instead of 400um or 500um in typical thermoelectric modules. Such high-density pellet placement makes it able to fit more pellets within the same size as a standard TEC, and increase TEC cooling capacity.
Modules of the MD Series are suitable for applications where it is required to remove heat from miniature objects with high power dissipation.

MD Series consists of single-stage TECs to the moment. Please, check the whole nomenclature here.
Multi-stage thermoelectric modules of MD Series are in the development process. They will be available soon.
The miniaturization way of MD Series provides a possibility to reduces total construction dimensions. For example, 4-stage MD Series TEC can be easily mounted onto standard TO-8 Header, which was not possible previously with using of standard TECs (because of size factor). Another example is a possibility to fit 127 pellet pairs (254 Bi-Te pellet elements) in single- stage TEC with dimensions only 9.8 x 9.8 mm. This is useful for calorimetry sensing applications, where TEC used as a precise detector.
MD Series conception opens a way to built very miniature thermoelectric modules for applications, where TEC size is very important, like cooled TOSA or cooled TO-46 VCELs.
TEC Microsystems and RMT Ltd companies provide a range of developed cooling solutions specially for TO-46 and TOSA applications.
Several MD types have been developed and optimized for cooled TOSA MSA and TO-46 VCSELs applications.
Standard thermoelectric modules types 1MD04-003-xx, 1MD04-004-xx and 1MD04-005-xx are available. Each TEC can be manufactured with different ceramics surface options according to the final application using.
