Mouser Electronics is now stocking solid-state, thin-film thermoelectric device evaluation kits from Micropelt, which specialises in Peltier cooler and thermogenerator devices.
Mouser’s stock of Micropelt products includes the TE-Power NODE evaluation kit for thermal energy harvesting. The kit shows how free excess heat can provide a continuous power source for low-power wireless sensing applications. It provides a plug and play wireless sensor system which allows the user to explore and understand thermal harvesting and comes complete with the thermoelectric generator TE-Power Base, various power and power modules, a low-power wireless sensor module and Texas Instrument’s USB Wireless Receiver. This simple-to-use evaluation kit lets you demonstrate thermoelectric generation within minutes of unpacking it.
Mouser also has the Micropelt TE-Power PLUS evaluation kit, which allows designer to determine the available power to drive low-power wireless applications by matching energy budget and duty-cycle control.
Mike Scott, Mouser vice president of active products, believes the availability of Micropelt products from Mouser will simplify the verification of performance and allow the exploration of new dimensions in thermal energy harvesting. “Being able to create enough energy for a low-power burst radio from an unused, free resource, like a temperature gradient, opens new doors in the field of remote wireless sensing and control. Mouser is very excited to offer this new technology to our engineering customers worldwide.”
And on that note Disti Blog signs off for the Easter holiday. Back on Tuesday.
