Need a TEC. Input? Where to buy?

[jonnyGURU]

Ok. I need to replace a TEC that I currently have running at 5V.

I don't know what the specs of this particular TEC is, but at 5V it's drawing 1A (5W.)

I have 6A available to it (30W.)

I see most TEC's are rated with a Vmax of > 12V. DOH!

What kind of TEC would I get that would not draw more than 6A @ 5V, but would cool more than this one I have now that's drawing only 1A?

Don't worry about what I'm cooling. It more of a novelty than anything. ;)

5v should pull alot more then 6a though, so search ebay business section for pelts, and look for a 60-70 watt pelt or something ;)

The best guide is going to be size.

Get a pelt of a similar size in the (70-80watt range) and it sould work ok.

You can buy lower voltae pelts, which might be more suitable for you, check out www.kryotherm.com for some specs.
