### 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.

**Optimum COP**  
 Cooling Power (Qc) = 0.26 Watts  
 Current = 0.17 Amps  
 Voltage = 0.38 Volts  
 Power Supply = 0.06 Watts  
 COP (Qc/Pin) = 4.03  
 Power Dissipated (Qh) = 0.33 Watts  

**Maximum Qc**  
 Cooling Power (Qc) = 2.41 Watts  
 Current = 1.79 Amps  
 Voltage = 3.04 Volts  
 Power Supply = 5.42 Watts  
 COP (Qc/Pin) = 0.44  
 Power Dissipated (Qh) = 7.83 Watts
