Abstract: The invention relates to thermoelectric devices and can be used in a variety of devices which utilize thermoelectric modules. A thermoelectric module containing n and p-type conductivity semiconducting branches, connected by means of switching buses into an electric circuit, and a protective polymer coating. The protective polymer coating is applied to the interconnected branches and buses, and the coating is an electrodepositable polymer varnish-paint composition modified with a fluoroelastomer latex.
