LC-102SS Peltier-Thermoelectric Liquid Cooler
• A compact, high-density extruded heat sink and a four-pass heat exchanger provides
large cooling capacity in a small size.
• The only wetted surface is 316 stainless steel tubing making the liquid exchanger
compatible with a wide variety of fluids.
• Two 316 stainless steel Mixer Coils can be easily added into the liquid tubing to
improve performance at low flow rates. Mixer Coils sold and installed separately.
• Straight tube ends for use with push-to-connect and compression fittings.
• Threaded hole located in lqiuid exchanger plate provide for easy attachment
temperature sensor.
• Mounting holes in sides and face of heat sink for multiple mounting options.
• CE marked; RoHS compliant.
• Useful for medium-sized heat loads in medical products, laser diodes, laboratory
instruments, gas-stream dehumidification, etc.
• Heat-sink fan can be PWM contolled to reduce fan noise in low heat load conditinos.
(Requires TC-720 temperature controller, sold separately.)
• Can be customized for high volume orders.

LC-102SS External Fan Connections
The external fan speed can be optionally
controlled using pulse width modulation at a
recommended
5
kHz to
25
kHz frequency
applied at terminal position 4 (SPD CTRL, brown
wire). The TC-720 temperature controller can be
used to provide this PWM signal to reduce the
audible noise at low cooling demands
(use
5400Hz frequency setting). Electrical ground to
terminal position 4 will reduce fan speed.
Terminal position
3 provides for a fan-speed
sensor, sending
two pulses per revolution.
Consult with TE Technology if you wish to use
this feature.

NOTE: Do not apply solder (tin) to the ends of

copper wire only.
Do not allow heat sink temperature to exceed
