THERMOELECTRIC ELEMENT Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC H10N10/10 H10N10/81 

FIELD: thermoelectric instrumentation.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for switching branches in the production of thermoelectric elements operating in a wide temperature range. Essence: thermoelectric element consists of two semiconductor branches of n- and p-type conductivity, the upper faces of which are connected by a common switching bus by permanent connection. An individual switching bus is connected to each lower face of the semiconductor branches of n- and p-type conductivity. Part of the upper switching bus in the area between the semiconductor branches of n- and p-type conductivity has a corrugated flexible structure that compensates for thermal stresses in the thermoelement.

EFFECT: ensuring thermal stability, increasing the mechanical strength and reliability of the thermoelement in a wide range of operating temperatures.
