CP-035HT Peltier-Thermoelectric Cold-Plate Cooler
• TE Technology's smallest cold plate cooler.
• Low thermal mass reduces cool-down times.
• Heats as well as cools (when used with heat & cool/bipolar controller).
• Can be used for heating up to 100 °C.
• Compatible with all of TE Technology's controllers.
• An optional mounting bracket is available for converting the cooler into a
bench-top version.
• Threaded holes located in the cold plate for attachment of a temperature
sensor, interface plate, or object to be cooled.
• Mounting holes located in face of heat sink and sides of shroud for extra
mounting options.

Performance is based on unrestricted air flow to fans
and from air-flow outlets. Do not operate if the heat sink
or cold plate exceeds 100 °C. Do not operate fans at air
temperatures below -10 °C or over 70 °C.

1Current, at steady-state, is rated at +25 °C ambient, +25 °C internal, maximum heat removal. At -19 °C internal, the typical steady-state current is 4.1 A.
2Current, at steady-state operation under-worst case conditions, is rated at -10 °C ambient, +70 °C internal, maximum heat removal.
3 Total current consumption is sum of TE current and Fan current.

Example: You need to maintain the cold plate at 0 °C while in a 25 °C ambient. The cooler can remove a maximum of
approximately 16 W of heat from the cold plate. If the heat gain from the ambient plus anything else actively generating
heat exceeds this, you would need a cooler with a larger cooling capacity or multiple coolers.

CP-035HT Fan Speed Connections
The fan speed operates at 100% as
shipped. DO NOT OPERATE THE CP-
035HT IN COOOLING MODE WITH A PWM
DUTY CYCLE OF LESS THAN 50%. DO
NOT ALLOW THE HEAT SINK OR COLD
PLATE TEMPERATURES TO EXCEED
100 °C.
The fan speed can be controlled using
pulse-width modulation at a recommneded
5 kHz to 25 kHz frequency range, applied
to the brown fan wire. The TC-720
temperature controller can be used to
provide this PWM signal to reduce the
audible noise at low cooling demands (use
5400 Hz frequency setting).
The yellow wire provides fan-speed
sensing. Consult with TE Technology if
you wish to use this feature.
Brown Wire: Speed Control
Yellow Wire: Speed Sensor
The brown and yellow wires are usually not
used and are therefore wrapped in heat
shrink.
If using these features, carefully cut away the
heat shrink. Additional wire length can be
splice on as needed.
