Nextreme Thermal Solutions introduces the eTEC Thermoelectric Cooling Kit. Features include a single UPF40 thermoelectric module, and air-tight cooling environment and electrical connectors for accurate temperature measurements of thin-film thermoelectric devices.

The UPF40 module allows for precise cooling and temperature control of opto-electronic applications with high heat-flux requirements in very small packages (laser diodes, high-brightness LEDs, VCSELs).

The kit provides a full thermal path while needing only an adjustable power supply, a volt meter and a two-channel, type K thermocouple readout to measure temperature differentials.

Bosch Rexroth AG introduces tensioning connectors. The product can be inserted or swiveled into grooves without profile machining, as well as retrofitted into existing constructions, saving assembly time and reducing cost.

Adapted for profiles with 8-mm and 10-mm grooves, the connectors work with all profile cross sections available in the company’s Basic Mechanical Elements modular system and require only one tool. The product is also available in ESD-compatible versions.

The connectors are reported to withstand bending loads up to 35 Nm and 110 Nm, as well as sliding forces of maximum 1,000 N and 3,500 N.
