OptoTEC MBX Series of Micro Thermoelectric Coolers

Nov. 13, 2024
Laird Thermal Systems' OptoTEC MBX thermoelectric coolers offer a compact configuration that provides the best cooling performance at the lowest possible power consumption.

A line of micro thermoelectric coolers for high-performance space-constrained optoelectronic applications, the OptoTEC MBX Series uses next-generation thermoelectric materials and advanced process automation.

The series offers new configurations designed for integration into TO-Can, TOSA, and Butterfly packages. The latest design innovation includes a compact footprint, with the smallest model measuring just 0.06 x 0.04 in. (1.5 x 1.1 mm) and profiles as thin as 0.02 in. (0.65 mm), ensuring exceptional cooling performance in given space constraints at the lowest possible power consumption.

The MBX Series has high heat pumping densities of up to 43 W/cm2 with temperature differentials up to 180°F (82°C) at an ambient of 122°F (50°C). Ensuring efficient thermal management and precise temperature stabilization, the MBX Series protects optoelectronics that operate in high-temperature environments including laser diodes, optical transceivers, LiDAR, Infrared Range (IR) Sensors, and high-powered Indium Phosphide (InP) VCSELs.

Engineered to order, the MBX Series allows for unique form factors, heat pumping densities, and power efficiencies. With solder constructions supporting reflow temperatures up to 530°F (280°C) and wire-bondable attachments, this series is suitable for a wide range of optoelectronic applications. Laird Thermal Systems also offers special finishing options, including Au-plated patterns, thermistor attachments, and hermetic sealing to accommodate non-hermetic packaging.

Features:

  • Miniature footprints
  • Precise temperature control
  • Reliable solid-state operation
  • Operates in high-temperature applications
  • No sound or vibration
  • RoHS-compliant
