The OTX08-18-F2-0505-11-W2.25 is a high-performance, miniature thermoelectric cooler. The OTX08-18-F2-0505-11-W2.25 is primarily used in applications to stabilize the temperature of sensitive optical components in the telecom and photonics industries. It has a maximum Qc of 1 Watts when ΔT = 0 and a maximum ΔT of 72.9 °C at Qc = 0.
- Miniature footprint
- Precise temperature control
- Reliable solid-state operation
- No sound or vibration
- RoHS-compliant

For maximum performance, be sure to orient the CONTROL side of the TEC against the application to be managed and the AMBIENT side against the heat sink or other heat rejection method. The CONTROL side is always opposite the side with lead attachments. Lead attachment is a passive heat loss and less impactful if located on the side that attaches to the heat exchanger.
