The addition of new supplier to an emerging product family usually is a good sign that significant growth could occur. This appears to be the case for thermal energy harvesting. With the release of its eTEG Series Thin Film Thermoelectric Module Product Line, Laird Technologies provides three new product alternatives that take advantage of the heat generated in an application. In addition to wireless sensors, the new products target LED lighting and battery charging applications.
The PG09,14,F0,0102,GG (33 mW @ ΔT=100°C), PG24,48,F2,0202,GG (90 mW @ ΔT=100°C) and PG37,72,F2,0203,GG (130 mW@ ΔT=100°C) have output voltages from 0.6 to 2.5 volts in an open circuit at maximum temperature differentials.
