| Peltier modules, also known as thermoelectric coolers (TEC) or thermoelectric modules (TEM), are solid state devices which transfer heat when electrical power is applied. This blog post will provide an overview of Peltier module construction followed by a summary of common failure mechanisms and ways to improve TEC reliability. |

| Since the advent of the digital age, electronic products have been asked more high-efficiency, multitasking, and lightweight. Such devices require to pack more functionality in a small space to bring consumers more convenience. The various applications can be witnessed in telecommunication, industrial equipment, medical device, or consumer electronics. |

| You may wonder why does an EV need a conventional battery when there’s a 400V or 800V battery already in the vehicle to power the motors? Today the 12V or 48V batteries power all the other systems in the vehicle, but they add cost and weight and take up valuable space. Why not remove the 12V battery and use the 400 – 800V battery to power everything in the car? |
