Bought mine via eBay. Capacitors C3,4,5 & 6 - Need to be rated for ripple current > 1A each. BOM specifies a suitable Tantalum Cap. but 2.30 GBP each. For cost I fitted 4 x TPSD107M016R0125 (Non RoHS Surplus) These are 125mR ESR, rated <1A so are only suitable to 5A o/p - so fine with 15mm x 15mm 3.7V 5A peltiers. Inductor 47uH 8.5A (many manufacturers do direct equivalents - original item was Newport / C&D 1400S series) Connector J1, J2 are 3 way 5mm pitch screw terminals. Bought surplus so no P/No available A single 6 way could be used instead. Eg. Farnell 151792 Set-Up instructions... To set the operating current of the D4Chill place a 10A current meter between Tec+ and Tec- (the D4Chill will happily run into a short circuit) Have the thermistor contacts shorted out - this will have the effect of forcing the o/p to on. Increase the R12 POT until the desired current is read from the current meter. Switch off power and remove the current meter. There is a 600mA p-p ripple on the o/p so for a 5A max rated peltier I would not exceed a reading of 4.7A. Check polarity of the TEC - connect to the D4Chill with the thermistor disconnected. Briefly apply power and make sure the non heatsink side of the TEC goes cold. Fit the thermistor to the laser mount. The ideal place would be glued with thermal adhesive into a hole on the mount as close to the TEC as possible. If the thermistor is mounted far away from the TEC the temperature may oscillate wildly. If the thermistor goes open circuit the D4Chill will lose feedback and the cooling will stick off. If the thermistor gets shorted by metalwork the D4Chill cooling will stick on. Check that the wires from the thermistor do not short. It should read approx. 10k at room temperature. Test the D4Chill on the mount without the lasers fitted. Turning R9 anti-clockwise should reduce the temperature. You can fit a 5W resistor instead of the laser diodes to simulate the power they would dissipate. Make sure the D4Chill works as expected and the temperature where the laser would be fitted does not oscillate too much (should be << than 1C)
