1.How to know hot or cold side ?
Normally,the side with "TEC1-12706" words is the heating side, the other is cooling.
To test:hold it, connect red to battery's +, black to -; and feel for temperature difference.
Note: Without cooling measures, powering it for more than 3s can may cause damage.
2.Power supply ?
TEC1-12706 Rated voltage: DC12V (Vmax: 15 v starting current 5.8 A)
It is best to choose a 12V 10A switching power supply (120W), which can not only meet the needs of 12706 Peltier Plate, but also provide additional current margin for other possible loads.
3.How to Use It? (Simplified Version)
Prep thermal grease, find a battery, connect to cooler leads (note polarity & cold/hot ends).
For more cooling, stack two pieces (upper absorbs lower's heat) for two-stage cooling.If conditions permit, you can choose a three-stage one, but of course, a high-power power supply is required to support it and pay attention to the heat dissipation issue.
4.What series and parallel connections?
(Peltier Plate with different currents cannot be connected in series)
Series Connection:
Connecting TEC1-12706 modules positive and negative in sequence. Same current, summed voltages.
Parallel Connection:
Connecting TEC1-12706 modules positive and negative together separately. Same current and voltage for each.
5.Should you opt for series or parallel cooling for TEC1-12706 modules?
If your power supply voltage is ample and you seek enhanced cooling, series cooling might be worth considering. However, be mindful of heat dissipation and power supply limitations.
For a substantial increase in cooling capacity with a moderate power supply voltage, parallel cooling could be a superior choice, as it boosts both current and cooling capacity significantly.
In real-world applications, choose between series and parallel cooling based on your specific cooling demands, power supply conditions, and heat dissipation capabilities. Furthermore, to improve cooling efficiency and safety, implement suitable heat dissipation and power protection measures.

Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers find the heat sink to be a great product with positive energy efficiency, with one customer noting it's the most efficient way to dissipate heat. However, the functionality and cooling effect receive mixed feedback - while some report it works fine and their thumbs feel ice cold, others say it fails to work well and has minimal cooling effect.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2020Bought these to try to cool an outdoor camera setup, and they work as advertised.
My first impression came when I was holding it in my fingers, expecting some slight temperature change. Hooked it up to a 12v battery and pretty much immediately had to drop it.
It was only then I was able to realize that although my index finger almost got burned, my thumb was ice cold.
I can understand why people say they destroy themselves when left on without a way to dissipate the heat, but come on - pumping heat from one side to the other is what they're supposed to do!
I bought a little 40mm copper heat sink with a built in 12v fan, and these things will run all day long if you can get rid of the cold on the other side.
Surprisingly great technology, and great product
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2023These worked when put in circuit. Tested with a 12 volt battery before installing.They do get cold on one side and hot on the other. How long they last has yet to be determined. They do work though.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024If you have problem disipating heat from the peltier plate, try to wire 2-3 of them in series so each of these has around 4V-6V. Less power, less heat per plate, more area to disipate heat.
Another solution is to get very low peltier power and wire them in paralel.
In my application, I use both heat and cold to warm and heat water for aquaculture and get extreme efficiency.
If you have to do it at nominal 12V voltage, then use water blocks to cool and heat the plates. water retains high thermal energy very good compared to air cooling. get cheap water pumps for the job.
play around and have fun with it. good luck with your project!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2019The media could not be loaded.
5.0 out of 5 starsThey worked as expected! Bought a 360W power supply and made this cooler with two huge heat sinks. My buddy and I then but some piping around the hot (exhaust) and cool side. We blew air over both sides and directed the cool air into my gaming laptop to keep it cool while gaming and it worked really well! We used cheap thermal paste to get good contact from the pads to the heatsinks. Also, data sheets for these things are all over google. I found a few english ones no problem. One more thing, they do not draw quite the amount of current they say they will, but that is a small detail. If you toss a bit more voltage over them, they will draw more power obviously.Solid Product! Used for silly side project.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2022My original review said these were all operating to spec, but I spoke too soon. It was based on my original order of five, but I've since ordered ten more. In that I've had one DOA. I suspect shipping damage and the company issued me a refund for the unit. So, I don't fault the seller for that. Ten of them are running between 8-17% under power. The worst is that I've had one fail after a few hours of very normal use. So, now I don't trust them. I'm going to run the rest through some long term testing and report back. I've also ordered some name-brand modules from another source. I'll see if they're worth three times the money. I've seen some with similar specs that cost 15X more than these.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2019So dumb customer (me) didn’t realize that there are 5 to the pack . . . . . . . . I have spares. Wanted one to fix an aging Koolatron cooler and found that it works better than the original part. Cool on the inside - happy customer.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2019i bought these and repaired my thermoelectric wine cooler back in July. 6 months later and they’re no longer cooling. Lifespan should be longer than that!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2020Surprisingly, all the pieces arrived in good condition. Considering the poor packaging and other purchases from this vendor that arrived broken and non-functional, this was a surprise.
Performance is what you'd expect from a Chinese 12706. Performance is a little below US made but more expensive TECs, but they are consistent between units and in testing I was able to get a medium sized cooler down to 26 degrees F (ambient 67 deg. F) using a liquid-cooled water block hot side and a super efficient 10" x 4.5" x 1.5" 22 fin heat-sink. Anything less would not pump as much heat and would not cool the chamber below about 35 deg. F. These units draw 1/4 the power of the Aideepen TEC1-12715, and are much more efficient.
Assuming the next batch is as good, I would definitely buy them again.
