TO-3 Header is suitable in applications where quite powerful TECs are required. It’s open surface provides a possibility to install various single- and multi-stage TECs types. Mostly requested single-stage solutions with powerful low pellet height TECs. Header version with 8 pins is standard. 6pins TO-3 is requested in some specific applications with elongated TEC shape.
