A major update has been made to the MX Thermoelectric Coolers group. Detailed specifications for each type are available, as well as a number of new TECs. MX Group's TE coolers are mainly designed for X-ray and IR detectors and have a special internal arrangement of elements for an optimal balance of current and voltage in the operating mode.
Thermoelectric coolers of MD02 Series are the smallest TECs in our range with a main a focus on cooled TOSA applications. Due to ultra-small cross-section of internal BiTe elements 1MD02 TECs have low operating current, optimal for modern TO-can TOSA applications. SuperHD assembly technology and high-quality bulk BiTe material provide a perfect ultra-compact TEC solution with advanced cooling performance. Additional "ANt" sub-series in MD02 Series consists of ultra-thin TECs with AlN ceramics,
0.7mm total TEC height and advanced height control.
Thermoelectric coolers of 1MDL06 Series are specially developed for telecom applications in "classical" DWDM packages like "Butterfly" 14pin or DIL. MDL06 TECs have industry standard dimensions, but comparing to typical TEC types our MDL06 TECs have up to 100% higher cooling capacity on the same size. Al2O3 and AlN ceramics solutions are available.
