Laird Technologies Thin Film Thermoelectric Handbook

Laird Technologies, a designer and manufacturer of customised, performance-critical components for wireless systems and other advanced electronics applications, has published its Thin Film Thermoelectric Handbook. The handbook was authored by the company’s thermal management subject matter experts.

The handbook focuses on thin film thermoelectric modules (TFMs) and provides in-depth insight into the advantages of TFMs over traditional bulk technology, as well as the basic structure and function of TFMs, system level considerations required for device selection and thermal management design.

The handbook is a comprehensive tutorial that helps educate readers on the proper design and installation of thin film modules and helps to avoid common errors that can reduce operational life or limit output performance attributes of a module.

Designed for engineers with novice to intermediate thermoelectric experience, the handbook also covers Laird Technologies’ eTEC product line, design considerations, proper handling and assembly procedures, temperature sensing and mechanical integrity of the technology.
