The TEC Driver series allows precise temperature control via Peltier elements (TECs) and is available in three output power versions: 40 W, 170 W, and 480 W, allowing optimal adaptation to a wide range of thermal loads and applications.
All Thermoelectric Coolers Driver versions are fully compatible with our LIV100 and LIV120 Laser Diode Characterization Systems. They are USB-controlled and seamlessly integrated into the graphical user interfaces (GUI) of the LIV systems, enabling convenient and reliable operation within the existing measurement environment.
Each Unit features a compact gullwing housing with integrated slots for table mounting using M6 screws (mounting pattern: 4 screws in a 125 × 50 mm grid), ensuring stable and space-efficient installation in OEM and laboratory setups.
The TEC Drivers are not intended for standalone operation and are supplied with device-specific software for use exclusively with the supported LIV systems. To complete the setup, we recommend using one of our matching laser mounts ( chucks), which are optimized for thermal performance and mechanical compatibility.
