MFG Part Number: 387012175
OptoTEC™ MBX Series Thermoelectric Cooler
The MBX18-15-F2N-0202-GG-W0 is a high-performance, miniature thermoelectric cooler. The MBX18-15-F2N-0202-GG-W0 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 1.9 Watts when ΔT = 0 and a maximum ΔT of 72.9 °C at Qc = 0.
Features
  • Miniature footprint
  • Precise temperature control
  • Reliable solid-state operation
  • Operates in high-temperature applications
  • No sound or vibration
  • RoHS-compliant

Electrical and Thermal Performance

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.
