Tark Thermal Solutions introduces two- and three-stage OptoTEC MSX Series micro multistage thermoelectric coolers (TEC) engineered for high coefficient of performance (COP) in infrared sensors and X-ray detectors.

The OptoTEC MSX Series delivers 100-120°C temperature differential (ΔT) in a vacuum environment with micro cold-side footprints down to 2.0 x 4.0mm and overall heights as low as 3.3mm (2-stage) and 3.8mm (3-stage).

Built with next-generation thermoelectric materials, high temperature solders, and proprietary automation, the MSX Series increases cooling capacity by up to 10% versus previous offerings, enabling deeper temperature differentials in tightly constrained optical packages, while operating within demanding power budgets. For manufacturers looking to accelerate design cycles and reduce integration risk, MSX also serves as a seamless pathway into value-added Optical TEAs. By integrating the cooler directly into popular industry standard TO-39, TO-46, TO-66 and TO-8 optical packages, MSX Optical TEAs help accelerate time-to-market and build quality.

Key benefits for imaging applications include deep cooling to reduce thermal noise, optimised X‑ray detectors, compact IR designs, and more.

“The MSX multistage platform, together with our integrated Optical TEAs, empowers design engineers to push image quality boundaries further while shrinking system footprints. By uniting deep, stable cooling with ultra-miniaturized TO-based packaging and automated in-house assembly, TTS minimizes integration complexity and accelerates time-to-market, so our customers can concentrate on advancing sensor and detector performance,” said Andrew Dereka, Thermoelectrics Product Director, Tark Thermal Solutions.
