RC12-6-09S

Overview

The RC12-6-09S is a single-stage thermoelectric cooler module manufactured by Marlow Industries, Inc. It features a compact footprint of 40.1mm x 40.1mm with a thickness of 3.91mm. The device operates at a maximum voltage of 14.7 VDC and draws a current of 5.6 A. It provides a cooling capacity of 54 W at a hot side temperature of 27°C. The unit is RoHS compliant and utilizes high-temperature solder for reliability.

Feature Summary

• Single-stage solid-state thermoelectric cooling design
• RoHS 2002/95/EC compliant construction
• High-temperature solder assembly for enhanced reliability

Applications

• Electronic component thermal management
• Precision instrument temperature control
• Optical device cooling systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation carefully, as the RC12-6-09S variant is listed as obsolete in several distributor databases. Confirm availability status directly with the manufacturer or authorized channels before procurement planning. Ensure that any substitute components meet the exact electrical and dimensional specifications required for the application to maintain system performance and compatibility.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a single-stage cooling solution with a 40.1mm square footprint is required. Consider the 54 W cooling capacity at 27°C hot side temperature against the available power supply constraints of 14.7 VDC and 5.6 A. Evaluate the thermal interface requirements and heat sink capabilities to ensure the maximum temperature differential is achievable under actual operating conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RC12-6 series of single-stage thermoelectric modules from Marlow Industries. The series offers various configurations with different lead styles and sealing options. The RC12-6-09S specifically denotes a sealed version with long leads, designed for robust integration into thermal management assemblies requiring durable connections.

Replacement Considerations

The RC12-6-09S is marked as obsolete. Potential substitutes include parametric equivalents within the RC12 series, such as the RC12-6-01LS, provided they match the electrical ratings and physical dimensions. Verify that alternative parts offer compatible lead configurations and sealing standards.
