Abstract
A comprehensive evaluation of performance and life characteristics of the SNAP 19 generator was accomplished. Eight bench-test generators were used in the study. All of the units, contained lead-telluride thermoelectric couples. Three types of thermoelectric couples were used. Six of the generators were of reference couple desiga; one unit was of an advanced couple configuration; one unit used a different "P" leg material formulation. Thermoelectric element, couple, and module manufacturing processes were subjected to production type quality assurance.
