TEC5V4A-D is a kind of Peltier controller, which is used to monitor and regulate the object temperature. The maximum output current of Peltier controller TEC5V4A- Dis 4A and the maximum output voltage is 4.7V. This Peltier controller has high efficiency and high reliability. Peltier controller provides two packaging methods, DIP package and SMT package. The following is the physical photo of Peltier controller TEC5V4A-D.

There are many interface ports provided by the Peltier controller, and customers can use the ports to set the object required temperature and the maximum output voltage. In order to avoid the interference between the controller and other electronics, Peltier controller is packaged in a 6 sided metal enclosure. 
Before using Peltier controller, there are some things to be noted.During working process, the power supply may have overshoot, and if this happens, the voltage may exceed the maximum allowed input voltage, 6V, of thePeltier controller and damage the controller permanently. In order to avoid this from happening, before supplying the power,be sure that the Peltier controller is connected to the power supplysolid well; the power supply is ensured to havelarge enough output current; when using a bench top power supply, the current limit is set more than 1.5 times higher than the maximum current thatthe controller requires.
